ExampleText Chars not being displayed in Editor. - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by Todd Richardson

I am creating a new language file and supplying some Example Text. Below is a sample of the ExampleText node of my Language.xml file.


<!-- Example Text -->
<ExampleText>
<![CDATA[
    Abs(«number»)
]]>
</ExampleText>

When I load up my language file in the Sample Project to view the Example Text, the double arrows inside the parenthesis are not rendered in the editor. Since the Example Text is in a CDATA section it should not be parsed by the xml engine. Any ideas what would be causing this?

We use the .NET framework XML classes to read the XML so my guess is that the character is not supported in the charset or in XML like that. Maybe find the Unicode value of the characters and replace them with the proper XML Unicode character entities instead. That should work.

It appears it was related to the text editor that I was creating my xml file in. I switched to an xml editor and fixed the invalid charecters and all is working fine now. Thanks for your help!
