**Question:** Is there, and what would it be, the right tag to enclose non-DITA content within a DITA document? 

The functionality that I am looking for is a tag, say `<ignored></ignored>` such that any content, including `<`, `>`, `&`, or even other tags, inside it are interpreted as plain text, or perhaps as another language.

For example, in HTML I could use

```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    This is some text 
    <script> that gets bold <b> after this tag </script> 
    that doesn't get bold</b><br/>
    This text <b>did get bold</b>
  </body>
</html>

```

the code inside the `<script></script>` tags is ignored. The browser should display:

---

This is some text that doesn't get bold  

This text **did get bold**

---

I think DITA doesn't have the `script` tag, or at least I didn't see it in this [language reference](https://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.0/langspec/ditaref-type.toc.html).
