[RPGNext] HTML/XML

[Joel Schibbelhute <jschibbelhute@xxxxxxxxx>]

That would probably be helpful. I'm not sure because I don't know squat about writing xml from a 400 database. How do you do that anyway? I haven't seen a pressing need to do this yet, but it will probably pop up.

subject: [RPGNext] HTTP/XML Output procedures

I ran into a problem today... I'm creating an XML file from a 400
database, and one of the fields has an ampersand embedded in the text.
When I try to open the XML file in a browser (Firefox .8), it bombs
because of the ampersand (it should be &amp;).  To address this, I'm
going to write a procedure that will find HTML/XML special characters
and replace them with the appropriate codes.  There will also be a
co-procedure for un-converting these as well.

My question is, will this be useful as part of the xRPG library?  And
if
so, are there any other similar procedures I could add to create a new
service program?  I already have an "unescape" routine that I use to
convert incoming URL strings from their embedded codes (%20 = a space,
%2c = a comma, etc), so I could add that as well.  Stuff like that or
anything dealing specifically with HTML/XML string processing would be
great.
