Returns a CDATA section with the given content. CDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text containing characters which would otherwise be recognized as markup. CDATA sections begin with the string <![CDATA[ and end with (and may not contain) the string ]]>.

  cdata_section("private function clearForm():void {field_title.text = '';}")
   # => <![CDATA[
            private function clearForm():void {
                field_title.text = '';
            }
        ]]>

Returns an XML block tag of type name surrounding the content. Add attributes by passing an attributes hash to options. For attributes with no value, give it a value of true in the options hash. You can use symbols or strings for the attribute names.

  content_tag('FormItem', content_tag('TextInput'), :id => "image_desc")
   # => <mx:FormItem id="image_desc">
           <mx:TextInput />
        </mx:FormItem>

Instead of passing the content as an argument, you can also use a block in which case, you pass your options as the second parameter.

  <% mx_content_tag 'FormItem', :id => "image_desc" do -%>
     <mx:TextInput />
  <% end -%>
   # => <mx:FormItem id="image_desc"><mx:TextInput /></mx:FormItem>

Alternatively to passed in the tag name as a string, you can pass it in as a symbol and it will be CamelCased

  content_tag(:form_item, content_tag(:text_input), :id => "image_desc")
   # => <mx:FormItem id="image_desc">
           <mx:TextInput />
        </mx:FormItem>

Returns an empty XML tag of type name which by default is XML compliant. Add attributes by passing an attributes hash to options. For attributes with no value like (disabled and readonly), give it a value of true in the options hash. You can use symbols or strings for the attribute names.

  tag("TextInput")
   # => <mx:TextInput />
  tag("TextInput", { :id => 'field_desc', :width => '274', text => '{ image_grid.selectedItem.desc }' })
   # => <mx:TextInput width="274" text="{ image_grid.selectedItem.desc }" id="field_desc" />
