YoWindow Forum

Hi Pavel,

i have a question about the format of the landscape description. Since a few releases we are able to include not only text but also links and/or images in the description.

I am not sure about the format. I have one landscape and want to include a link. So i opened my editor, coded a "<![CDATA[" section with the text (close it with "]]>") and appended my link (html-format) but when i add this landscape to YoWindow and open the landscape properties i do not see the complete description. Furthermore when i press the button to edit the description within YoWindow i get the complete "<about>"-tag section.
What am i doing wrong?

Hey, Reinhart!

If you edit description manually all HTML code must be put inside CDATA brackets - in the place of the word HERE
<![CDATA[HERE]]>

In your case

<![CDATA[<a href="http://apple.com">Apple Headquarters in Cupertino, CA</a>]]>

The very purpose of CDATA section is to allow entering special characters as text inside XML. The special characters are these <, >, "
