xmlwrite support for CDATA

Hi,

Am trying to use xmlwrite to generate an xmlfile with CDATA however the resulting xml does not wrap xml tags around the data e.g.

docNode = com.mathworks.xml.XMLUtils.createDocument('DataItem');
 docRootNode = docNode.getDocumentElement;
 thisElement = docNode.createElement('Sql');
 thisElement.appendChild(docNode.createCDATASection('This should be in CDATA'));
 docRootNode.appendChild(thisElement);

   xml = xmlwrite(docNode);
   disp(xml)

Results in

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

   <Sql>This should be in CDATA</Sql>

When I would expect

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    
       <Sql> <![CDATA[This should be in CDATA]]></Sql>

Am I doing something wrong here, I am not an XML expert

This appears to be a widely reported problem. It seems that you can hard-code the delimiters as follows: thisElement.appendChild(docNode.createCDATASection(['<![CDATA[','This should be in CDATA',']]>']));
