Hi All,

I found that XmlFormat() function does the formatting of the any Xml text and removes any XML unsafe characters from that XML text.

I just wrote below code to test this function.

<cfsavecontent variable="x" >

<?xml version = "1.0"?> 

<someXML>

    <someElement someAttribute="'a quoted value'"> 

       Body of element with <, >, "" and & goes here.

    </someElement>

</someXML>

</cfsavecontent>

<cfset x = XmlFormat(x) />

<cfscript>

          y = XmlParse(trim(x));

          writeDump(y);

</cfscript>

Then I got another error message

I know that by replacing the special characters from the XML text by string replace functions everything will be fine. But, I want to know what is the exact use of XmlFormat() function.

Thanks in advance for any help.
