Using "<" or ">" as a description in metadata
Dear all,
I'd like to know how you deal with this kind of case, because > and < symbols are special for .XML files. I have a case where the description uses a ">" or "<" symbols but they are not properly recognized once they have been loaded, instead they are loaded as ">" or "<". Do you know how to define them so the load would work properly?
Thank you.
Can you expand on the question? Where do you want to define them? What process are you going through that needs <> defined as < >?
Your summary is correct: there are a number of characters that XML needs to treat differently and <> are 2 of them. You must 'escape' these special characters using the > and < strings. That is how they must appear in the XML file and OneStream will display them as < and >.
