Bug ID: 159522
Summary: Extension in Basic macro script: some characters
inside the script would cause problem because script
is inside an XML file
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.4.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]

Two errors while clicking on the extension button on the toolbar.
I'm going to refer to a repository that is mentioned in the LibreOffice
documentation and help pages. Consider this code inside the LibreOffice Calc
extension:
https://github.com/luane-aquino/helloworld-libreoffice-extension/blob/a3f4927b173f41153ddc054ec6ec3a5712b9bafc/HelloWorldLibrary/Module1.xba#L6
The code is in StarBasic macro programming language. It's inside an XML file
named `Module1.xba`.
Any use of some character combinations would cause errors while running the
extension. Some troublemaker character sequences are `<>`, `<=`, and `<=>`. For
example, this code line would cause extension launch errors:
```
Print " <=> "
```
Or this one:
```
If 1 <> 2 Then
Print "Reached here?"
End If
```
The attachment shows two errors thrown while clicking on the extension button
on the toolbar.
Is it a bug? There shouldn't be some ways of including the StarBasic macro
script inside the XML without worrying about some text characters interfering
with the XML format and causing launch errors. Maybe I'm missing something.
