The file was created in a custom CMS system. I'm guessing the system is a bit flawed...

Converting into tags is not going to work, because the entities represent characters (mostly ä, ü, and ö). I could do that via RegExes in the Tag definition rules of the Embedded content processor. However, they're part of words that need be translated. If I convert them into tags, I'll end up with error messages about missing tags.

I'll get in touch with the client and try to convince him to clean it up at the source...

Thanks for the info! Knowing that it's not possible is already a great help! (c:

There is a plugin named "HTMLTag" for Notepad++, which can convert HTML entities back and forth. You can use this plugin to clean the sources by yourself. If it's not thousands of files, it should be pretty easy task.

Hi Evzen,

Thanks for the tip! I tried it, but unfortunately, the plugin allows to encode/decode the numerical value, but the alphanumerical entities (ö) are ignored.

Hi Ken, 

Working fine using both XML v1 and XML v2, Studio recognize both HTML entity (ä) and the entity in Decimal format (ä).

Try using a HTML 5.2 embedded content procesor for that element or elements for CData section.

An in the HTML content processor set the neccesary entities,

If you need the entities to be written back in Decimal format (ä)you may have a problem. I don't think Studio can do it. I need that format for some of my projects and I am converting the entities using a python script after exporting the files from Studio.

I hope it helps, 

Felipe

Thanks Felipe! This works! You're a hero!

Very nice. Can you attach a screenshot of the "Embedded content processing" page of that custom XML file type?

Hi Daniel, 

There is nothing special. Please see attached the filetype and the XML provided by Ken, in case it helps.

Hi Felipe Gonzalez Lopez

I must admit I had never come across an XML file with both embedded HTML (PCDATA) as well as CDATA sections, but I had always interpreted the embedded content rules to be applicable to either PCDATA or CDATA. I marvel how Studio would know that you want certain parsed elements interpreted as HTML...
