This is important because certain user names and comment content may contain HTML markup tags such as paragraph tags (<p>,<\/p>). You want to transfer these tags as is into WordPress so that the comments that show up in WordPress will retain those formatting options.<\/p>\nIf you do not use the CDATA<\/strong> tags, WordPress may try to interpret those tags as part of the XML file it is parsing and run into errors during the import process.<\/p>\nAfter writing all your comments, close the WordPress XML file with the following footer.<\/p>\n
