Bug with CDATA in XML layout update

[VegtMedia-Alex]

When you enter the first time a xml with CDATA it works as expected. After saving the CDATA tag is gone. More information:

https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/199377/cdata-removed-from-layout-update-xml-after-saving-cms-page-in-magento-2

Magento version 2.2.0

The CDATA tag is added in the database field, so it gets stripped when they view is outputting the code from the database.

It happens in this file:
/vendor/magento/module-ui/TemplateEngine/Xhtml/Result.php

Just solved the issue:

protected function wrapContent($content) { return '<script type="text/x-magento-init"><![CDATA[' . '{"*": {"Magento_Ui/js/core/app": ' . str_replace(']]>', ']]]]><![CDATA[>', $content) . '}}' . ']]></script>'; }

Hopefully someone can create a PR for this

Hi @alexvandervegt
I don't understand, why do you think that the replace like str_replace(']]>', ']]]]><![CDATA[>', $content) solve the issue?

You can test it if you check my original comment about it.
