Yes, CDATA should work.  The following works in Flex:

The only thing you have to escape in CDATA is "]]>".  (You would replace
it with

Yes, and it probably is.  You can run the MXML file through an XML validator to 
check.

But then the data in the CDATA gets handed to the compiler, and I don't 
remember our rules for string-based properties.  Either you have to escape them 
to also be Java-compiler-compatible, or the MXML parser in the compiler is 
supposed to escape incoming strings.

If you can run a test using Flex it might answer that question.

I think you have to escape strings and use backslash-n for linefeeds, for 
example.  There might be some online Java string escape converters if the rule 
is that you have to escape it yourself.

Displaying text in MXML

[Piotr Zarzycki]

Hi guys,

I'm fighting with problem of displaying text inside component in MXML. I
have following text and a lot of similar one:

"for machine in $(pfexec VBoxManage list runningvms | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | sed
's///g'); do pfexec VBoxManage showvminfo $machine | grep
Memory size: | sed 's/^.* \([0-9]*\)MB$/\1/g' ; done | awk
'{sum+=$1/1024.0}END{printf Running:  %d GB\n, sum}'; for
machine in $({ pfexec VBoxManage list vms | grep -v Template; pfexec
VBoxManage list runningvms; } | sort | uniq -u | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | sed
's///g'); do pfexec VBoxManage showvminfo $machine | grep
Memory size: | sed 's/^.* \([0-9]*\)MB$/\1/g' ; done | awk
'{sum+=$1/1024.0}END{printf Other:  %d GB\n, sum}';"

I need to literally display it without changes. I would like to do that
inside MXML, no var declaration etc. I was experimenting with CDATA, but
compiler still complains about some literals inside this text instead
ignoring it.

Does anyone have an experience with this ?

Thanks,
