Description tag?

[bob]

I have an xml fil containing:

<item>
<title><![CDATA[Title C]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://www.eclipse.org/org/press-release/20090401_WTPeducation.php]]></link>
<description>

When I include :" ´ " the description text is not generated. Only when I
remove ' ´ ' does it work. Are there any restrictions on characters used
inside the description tag?

How do you "generate"? What exactly do you generate?

In terms of XML there is nothing special about the "´" character.

Are there any restrictions on characters

used inside the description tag?

If that's a Microsoftish back-quote rather than the ASCII ` character,
it may be a problem. XML files normally default to being read as
Unicode, either UTF8 or UTF16, and the Microsoft extended-ASCII
characters don't play nicely with UTF8. (In UTF8, the high bit is
reserved for multibyte characters.) You may need to specify the file's
encoding (assuming it's an encoding your XML tools support), or use the
Unicode version of the character rather than the MS version.
