I find very difficult to manage the XHTML code with the RevXML tools if these tools do not manage consistently some special chars like & .
Consider this: I want to change some words in this XHTML page (field "FieldXML") <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";><head> <title> XHTML page </title> </head> <body><h1>Welcome</h1><p>TEXT</p></body> </html> I use this script: on mouseUp revDeleteAllXMLTrees put RevCreateXMLTree(field "FieldXML",true,true,false) into NUMERO revPutIntoXMLNode NUMERO,"html//body/p[1]","Char è " put revXMLText(NUMERO) into CODICE put CODICE into message set the HtmlText of field "browser" to CODICE end mouseUp The text in field "browser" will be: Welcome Char è What's wrong with my script? How can I get the correct XHTML code? I thought it was a bug ( http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=6061 ) . But they told me I was wrong (see the following message from Mark). I can not find a solution to thi problem. Hi Paolo, Thanks for the report. This change in behaviour is due to the fix to Bug 5283 - the behaviour of revPutIntoXMLNode, revAppendXMLNode and revXMLText is now correct and consistent. Both PutIntoXMLNode and AppendXMLNode assume that you are given them a string of text encoded in the native encoding of the XML file (the attribute in the ?xml header). In particular, they will escape the uses of '<', '>' and '&'. Unless you attach a DTD to you XML document, the only entities defined are lt, gt, quot, and amp. In particular, if you wish to use entities from HTML you need to add explicit <!ENTITY ...> definitions to your XML tree. (egrave is one such entity). Therefore, if you want to read an XML document which uses entities, you need to ensure it either has a DTD attached, or the <!ENTITY ...> declarations at the start. After such a document has been read into memory, however, you can use things such as XMLNodeContents and PutIntoXMLNode to manipulate the text content *without* using entities. Warmest Regards, Mark.
