[Xerte] Bug with the text icon

[Ron Mitchell]

sorry missed the fact that the previous post was about Xerte not XOT.
However it would be useful to know if there is a solution other than images
to display special chars/code in an XOT page as this has cropped up as a
question during f2f training.

 

I just tested just using < with the plain text page and I don't think it is
escaped. Here's my test file
<http://xerte5.techdis.palepurple.co.uk/play_5158>
http://xerte5.techdis.palepurple.co.uk/play_5158

 

Which has the following on page 1:

 

This is a test of displaying a less than symbol in an XOT plan text page

 

Testing so far indicates that either &lt or the less than symbol doesn't
display and prevents any text after the symbol from displaying

 

e.g. there is text after this line but not showing as this line ends with
the less than symbol <

 

this text is after the less than symbol

 

As you'll see it doesn't show anything after the < e.g. the last line. 

 

The > symbol doesn't cause the same problem as shown on page 2.

the question is about Xerte, not toolkits. In toolkits you ought to be able
to write <> etc anywhere - it ought to be escaped??

Hi Julian should that work in the plain text page? It doesn't appear to.

Instead of <, write &lt;
