Hiya,

I am converting a string from an external Db to XML using the HttpUtility.HtmlEncode in .Net.

One particular string failed validation in Stylus Studio, and on investigation I found the reason was because this string wasn't accepted...



On searching the net, I found it to be a valid XML string for the Ctrl+K (Vertical Tab) character.

The whole string works fine in Internet Explorer, so it seems to be a problem with Studio.

Any chance of a fix and any other special characters as I am relying on Studio to validate strings for me during testing, so this bug just wasted me some time as I tried to work out why it was invalid.

Thanks,

Nigel.

Hi Nigel,
the character 0xB is not a valid XML character, at least according to XML 1.0; does the XML file specify the <?xml version="1.1"?> header?

It isn't coming from an xml file and I don't know what standard Microsoft are using with their HTMLEncode function which is being used to convert a string to a xml 'safe' format.

Alberto is correct, unless the XML specifically states it is XML 1.1,
all XML parsers should reject it as malformed, otherwise they are in
violation of the spec. &xB; is not valid in XML 1.0, which is what the
file is if it doesn't say 1.1. And HTMLEncode produces safe HTML, not
safe XML. The rules are slightly different.
