Pretty simple question, I'm writing an XML document and i'm not sure how to write "]]>" without it being seen as the end of the section.

The only sequence which is not allowed within a CDATA section is the closing sequence of a CDATA section itself, ]]> . Note: CDATA sections should not be used within HTML they are considered as comments and not displayed.
A CDATA section begins with the character sequence <! [CDATA[ and ends with the character sequence ]]>. Between the two character sequences, an XML processor ignores all markup characters such as <, >, and &. The only markup an XML pro-cessor recognizes inside a CDATA section is the closing character sequence ]>.
The term CDATA, meaning character data, is used for distinct, but related, purposes in the markup languages SGML and XML. The term indicates that a certain portion of the document is general character data, rather than non-character data or character data with a more specific, limited structure.
CDATA means the element contains character data that is not supposed to be parsed by a parser. #PCDATA means that the element contains data that IS going to be parsed by a parser.
You can do it like this:
]]>]]><
<![CDATA[]]]]><![CDATA[>]]>
is the way to go.
That is:
]] (<![CDATA[]]]]>)> (<![CDATA[>]]>)In practice, there would probably be text before the first ]] and/or after the >
