Adjacent <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMCDATASection.html"title="CDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text containing characters that would otherwise be regard...">DOMCDATASection</a></code> nodes are not merged by use of the <code>normalize</code> method of the <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMNode.html"title="The DOMNode interface is the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model. ">DOMNode</a></code> interface. Because no markup is recognized within a <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMCDATASection.html"title="CDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text containing characters that would otherwise be regard...">DOMCDATASection</a></code>, character numeric references cannot be used as an escape mechanism when serializing. Therefore, action needs to be taken when serializing a <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMCDATASection.html"title="CDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text containing characters that would otherwise be regard...">DOMCDATASection</a></code> with a character encoding where some of the contained characters cannot be represented. Failure to do so would not produce well-formed XML.One potential solution in the serialization process is to end the CDATA section before the character, output the character using a character reference or entity reference, and open a new CDATA section for any further characters in the text node. Note, however, that some code conversion libraries at the time of writing do not return an error or exception when a character is missing from the encoding, making the task of ensuring that data is not corrupted on serialization more difficult. </p>
