You can use <![CDATA[ stuff like < and & not special here ]]> *but* now if ]]> occurs in your input you must escape it. E.g. to put <[[]]> into a string, you might try <![CDATA[ this is <[[]]> a space-ship]]> but that does not work. Instead, you must write, <![CDATA[ this is <[[]]>]]<![CDATA[> a space-ship]]> which I am sure you will agree is clearer. With XSLT, you might find it easier to include an external text file, using unparsed-text(), assuming you are using XSLT 2.
