[Xerte] Re: Help: having created 3-4 pages, additional pages are blank

No, here's no limit in text, but if you re pasting in text from other sources, it's been known to carry unseen characters into the text that can break the XML when the file gets saved.

No limitation I know of.
More likely the text that is not displaying has some characters that are not being encoded properly.
e.g. if you want to test the limitation theory, take some of the previous text that *is* displaying and copy it into the next page that is not displaying.

Hi
Can anyone tell us if there is a limit to the amount of text that can be posted onto a page or into the learning object as a whole? Are there differences between the Sandpit version we are using and and a real institutional installation?

Promting this: a colleague and I are trying the Xerte Sandpit and seeing if some existing materials can be re-packaged easily.

Adding two more paragraphs of produces a blank page. I had a similar result testing this separatly on another computer (unfortunately that example was lost - Xerte had been running slowly and I lost the screen I was working on and it hadn't saved). Blank pages produced sometimes had the word 'null' on them.

We have yet to try this on the desktop version.

I realise our example is extremely text heavy and not ideal use of the system, but it could be important; and frustrating if an academic reaches a limit with text.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Simon
