I can parse this XML like this :

XML

<pre lang="xml">
<item>
                    <title> <![CDATA[ TITLE ]]></title>
</item>
</pre>

But, I can't parse this XML like this :

XML

<item>
                    <title>
                    <![CDATA[ TITLE 
                    </title>                    
</item>
