so im going to be storing player inputted strings to the bank.

I dont mind a player storing style tags and such. But im wondering if anybody know of this leading to banks failing to load properly?

Style tags with the <> Im wondering if the bank will handle these correcty?

Or if I need to encode the special characters so they are friendly to the xml and then decode them?

or will the ingame xml reader handle it for me?

@SouLCarveRR: Go

I guess it does all the special character encoding itself. Has anybody run into any issues with this?

Why dont you test it yourself?

Just try to unput a string like

test."/>

and see what happens.

@Mille25: Go

I believe he did just test it himself. The editor does automatically make everything into it's special encoding like &whatever. I've never run into problems yet - and I have done it in the banks.

Just tested it with the String from above. It loads properly.

When taking a closer look you can see that the string gets saved like this in the bank file:

<Value string="test string.&quot;/&gt;"/>

As you can see no " or > left in the test string. This means that there should be no problems with using XML-tags or similar sequences in strings.

'"' gets replaces with &quot;
'>' gets replaced with &gt;
