Re: [Flashcoders] Line break in dynamic text imported from xml
Thanks Ktu
I managed to get this to work by using !CDATA[...]] just as you
suggested. I hadn't understood that it needed to go inside each of my
xml tags.
It's something of a chore, but the quiz is looking a lot better now.
Cheers
Paul

Just a clarification--it doesn't need to be inside each of your XML tags. Only the ones that contain text you're going to display, especially if they have HTML tags like b or \n. Well, to clarify the clarification - you need to use CDATA whenever you have contents of an element that may contain unescaped XML metacharacters: , , ', , . If you don't do this - whether you plan to display the contents or not - and your element contains a metacharacter, the XML parser will be unable to parse the file. Basically, a CDATA block tells the parser to ignore the contents.

Re: [Flashcoders] Line break in dynamic text imported from xml
I believe you can use \n in your feedback string and it makes a new line.

Re: [Flashcoders] Line break in dynamic text imported from xml
From what I remember when using xml with html, you need to wrap your html
inside of a* ![CDATA[**]]* to get it to render properly. You can put a \r
or \n in it as well.

Re: [Flashcoders] Line break in dynamic text imported from xml
Thanks Ktu
Yes, that sounds right. However, I'm not trying to enter the text as
html. When I've tried to alter the script to allow this, it's crashed.
I probably ought to go back and fix this properly, but I'm looking for
a way to put line breaks in non-html dynamic text. I'll keep digging
and let you know how I get on.
