Re: Do spiders crawl links inside of CDATA?

Hi Bernard,

I want the links to be visible to Google. I am making an app that
reads HTML files and it requires that some things are in a CDATA tag.
I would love it if the links in the CDATA tag were picked up by Google
so I wouldn't have to duplicate them - it would make my workflow much
simpler.

Thanks for you help!
Matt
