Subject: Please PLease only check in valid XML!


Hi

Please could everyone make sure that they only check in well formed XML – This  includes issues

If you cannot display the file in Internet Explorer it is probably invalid.

You could also use an XML editor.

There are a number of free ones available, such as Eclipse, XML spy and a few more I am sure.

 

The reason why this is important, is that it can prevent DEXlib form working for others.

 

 

A common cause of invalid XML is copying and pasting form Word which puts in funny characters. – In particular make sure that you turn off smart quotes.

 

Form the Word help:

Change curly quotes to straight quotes and vice versa

Microsoft Word automatically changes straight quotation marks ( ' or " ) to curly (smart or typographer's) quotes (  or  ) as you type.

To turn this feature on or off:

  1. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
  2. Under Replace as you type, select or clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box.

Note   You can find and replace all instances of single or double curly quotes with straight quotes in your document. To do this, clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box on the AutoFormat As You Type tab. On the Edit menu, click Replace. In both the Find what and Replace with boxes, type ' or ", and then click Find Next or Replace All.

To replace all straight quotes with curly quotes, select the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box, and repeat the find and replace procedure.

Rob
