Hi Franz-Josef, So:
oXygen changes the 1^st angle bracket of “<project folder>” to “<project folder>” to save the structure. If inside text content you leave a "<", the entire XML becomes not wellformed. So this is why Oxygen escapes it to <
In Author mode, you don’t realize this, only when trying to Search&Replace <installation folder> with <program folder> you don’t find all occurences and wonder why.
Yes, for Find/Replace in Files you would need to search using "<". But any XML-aware processor (like XSLT) will "see" that "<" as the "<" character.
I see that this has to be changed by oXygen.
This cannot be helped, Oxygen needs to keep your XML document wellformed.
Is there some advice / best practice to deal with this kind of source text? At the moment, I can only think of putting this “variable” in a <varname> element inside <filepath> without writing the angle brackets and defining a CSS rule for /filepath/varname to surround it with brackets in the output.
This could indeed work or you could stick to what you are currently doing and let Oxygen escape the "<" as it currently does. Regards, Radu Radu Coravu Oxygen XML Editor On 4/25/18 7:00 PM, Franz-Josef Knelangen wrote:
Hi there,
In our documentation we use something like <installation folder> or <project folder> and put these into file paths, f. e.
<project folder>\pipe\sewer.s3db
If I surround this with <filepath> markup, oXygen changes the 1^st angle bracket of “<project folder>” to “<project folder>” to save the structure.

Any other ideas?
