Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Missing CDATA sections

[fyl2xp1 <vnhu38f93@subdimension.com>]

Ok, crappy example, but the error still occurs if you wrap it in paras or
whatever,
I forgot to validate the example before I posted it that's all, try it with
para's round,
on my system it still misses out the CDATA section, in fact I just converted
a whole
book and then had to go through re-inserting the CDATA sections which was
ridiculous...
