Editing Objects in XML
If you turn on the Allow edit as XML option as shown in Edit User Settings, an additional XML tab is displayed in the object editing pop-up window. You can use this tab to edit object definitions in XML format. The object definition format in this tab is the same as the object definition format that is created when you export objects into CAR files.
When editing objects in XML format, the following restrictions apply:
- No trailing spaces are allowed.
- You must escape special characters (such as <, >, ", ', and &) using entities. If you need to use character entities, always use decimal entities wherever possible. The HTML entities listed below are recognized in XML, but others might not be, and unrecognized entities will prevent you from saving an object.
