How Can I use '$' character in XML code?

Question

How to use $ symbol in xml file. I am facing little difficulties in that. Below is my xml schema

   <fieldname>ACCOUNT.NUMBER</fieldname>
   <fieldtype>NVARCHAR2</fieldtype>
   <fieldlength>30</fieldlength>

Kindly help me how to use $ symbol in my xml schema.

Answer 1

If you want to use $ in text, or in an attribute value, just use it directly. No escaping needed.

If you want to use $ in an element or attribute name, you're out of luck. You can't.

Answer 2

Use it with:

<fieldexample><![CDATA[$$$$$]]></fieldexample>

For explanation of the use of CDATA, this answer explains it well.
