Unless they state some special reason for it, you shouldn't.

 

Even with the CDATA element in place, validators get confused by forward

slashes (like the one in the </em> tag). Whenever you want to use a / character

in JavaScript strings, precede it with a backslash (<\/em>). Doing so helps

the validator understand that you intend to place a slash character at the next

position.
