Values
Legal XML character data (CDATA).
Example
Term = "Bitmaps, see .bmp files, editing"
Ref = ".bmp files, editing"
Remarks
Because comma, semicolon, and colon characters are used to define the index, they need to be escaped. The escape sequence is used when you want the actual character to appear in the term, without affecting the layout of the index. For example, the term ".bmp files, editing;graphics" would result in the following index entries:
.bmp files
editing
graphics
The term ".bmp files%2C editing%3B graphics" would result in the following index entry:
.bmp files, editing; graphics
The following table shows the escape sequences to use.
Character |
Escape sequence |
---|---|
comma (,) |
%2C |
semicolon (;) |
%3B |
colon (:) |
%3A |
