Show XML tags in HTML

am 05.07.2007 23:29:27 von Nick Locke

I have a need to display some XML without IE interpreting the tags. I want
something like this:

xxxx

hhhhhhh

oooooo

Hello World

oooooo

At the moment, that renders as:

hhhhhhhh
oooooo
Hello World
oooooo

Whereas what I need is:

hhhhhhhh
oooooo
Hello World
oooooo

I have tried wrapping the XML in

and

and both still just lose the tags. View Source works fine, but I need to
see the tags within the page itself.

Ideas welcome!

Thanks, Nick.

If you were not able to figure that out on your own, are you really
competent to write documents about XML issues? After all, XML has just the
same principle in this respect as HTML does. At the minimum, the "<"
character must be written using an entity reference or a character
reference. Any "&" character must be "escaped" in a similar manner. There's
no need to "escape" the ">" character, but people usually do that, for
symmetry.

I think you're not competent to write messages on Usenet until you
stop being an asshole.

Who isn't competent? You didn't quote anything.

Well, if as I suspect it was Jukka, consider this: once you get past
the brusqueness of his posts, you will find sound advice. Relax a bit,
read carefully. Take your meds if necessary.

Well, this was rather obvious: "GreatArtist" used the pronoun "you" in the
generic sense, referring to any person - and, in this, particularly
applicable to "GreatArtist" himself/herself/itself.
