Hi,

When I create an XML Export from a course (Captivate 😎  and open the XML in Notepad ++, I see following strange ASCII-code (See the screenshot below).

When I take a look at the text in my Captivate file. The text is properly formatted in the text caption. There are also no strange characters in the entire captivate file.

The text in my Captivate file is clean (copied without any formatting or manually typed).

So the ASCII code must me added while exporting to XML.

I know that I can remove those ASCII signs with the find and replace function, but I would like to know the reason Captivate adds those code at the end of some text.

All help is appreciated.

Regards,

W

I don't know if you'll see an official response, but my theory would be it's some form of control character.

Unless the file causes an error, or changes the text on the screen after import I wouldn't try to change it.

Have you viewed the text with different coding schemes: UTF-8 vs ASCII?

It will likely change the symbol, but may not make any more sense!
