Illegal Character Found

Stylus Studio displays the Illegal Character Found dialog box when it detects a character in the file you are opening that is illegal for the type of editor in which you are trying to open it. This can happen, for example, when you try to open an HTML file in the XML Editor.

Fields

Skip it

Stylus Studio skips the illegal character and opens the file.

Preserve it

Stylus Studio preserves the illegal character, rendering it in the editor using whatever means possible when the file is opened.

Escape it

Stylus Studio escapes the illegal character using Unicode when the file is opened.

Report the error

Stylus Studio displays an error concerning the illegal character like this:

Byte 0x92 found in file file://\\my_server\XqueryRoot\connection-pooling\index.html at offset 5547 is invalid for encoding utf-8

Stylus Studio does not open the file if you choose to report the error.
