disableOutputEscaping Property
Turns disableOutputEscaping on or off. When disableOutputEscaping is set to True, special symbols such as "&" are passed through literally. When disableOutputEscaping is set to False, special symbols (also known as built-in entities) such as & are escaped to &.
Visual Basic Usage Syntax
oMXXMLWriter.disableOutputEscaping = boolValue
boolValue = oMXXMLWriter.disableOutputEscaping
C/C++ Syntax
[propput]
HRESULT disableOutputEscaping (
[in] VARIANT_BOOL fValue);
[propget]
HRESULT disableOutputEscaping (
[out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL * fValue);
Parameters
fValue
A Boolean expression (True/False) specifying whether the feature is on or off.
Return Values
S_OK
The value returned if no errors are reported.
Remarks
Read/write. The default value is False. When you try to output a special character such as "<" or "&", the special character will be escaped in the output file using the standard XML escaping mechanism. For example, by default, the MXXMLWriter writes the "&" symbol as "&" unless disableOutputEscaping is set to True. If disableOutputEscaping is set to True, MXXMLWriter does not escape the special symbol and writes the "&" symbol as the literal "&".
If this property is set to True, the XML output may not be well-formed or valid.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| True | MXXMLWriter does not escape special symbols (passing them through as literals) when writing output. |
| False (default) | MXXMLWriter escapes special symbols when writing output. |
