Ah. Can't you just say if (i &lt; foo &amp;&amp; j &lt; bar) {
Or do browsers screw it up even in XHTML?

I don't know how to poke recorded keystroke macros into the menus,
maybe one of the mode authors can reply.

To DIY:

	C-x ( <![CDATA[]]> C-b C-b C-b C-x )

that records the insert sequence and leaves the cursor in the
marked section. To replay this to test it, use C-x e

Now give it a name: 

	M-x name-last-kbd-macro RET sgml-insert-CDATA RET

Then bind it to a key, eg F12

	M-x local-set RET F12 sgml-insert-CDATA RET

(that's the F12 key there, not the separate keystrokes).
Now you can press F12 to insert a CDATA marked section.
Finally open your .emacs and go to the bottom and type

	M-x insert-kbd-macro RET sgml-insert-CDATA RET

and then

	(global-set-key [f12] 'sgml-insert-CDATA)

Unfortunately I don't know how to do this and make it active 
ONLY in sgml-mode or xml-mode. The above makes it globally
active in all modes. I think it's something to do with one 
of the -hook variables: doubtless someone else can explain.

Save .emacs and type M-x eval-buffer to make it work now
(it will auto-load in future sessions).
