Using GT and LT in XML Export to BI Publisher

MartinFApr 23 2008 — edited Apr 24 2008
Hi,
We have a report that uses BI Publisher to produce a PDF. This works very well but we have a problem when trying to enter Greater Than and Less Than signs.

In the following read { as a Greater Than Sign and } as a Less Than Sign,

For instance, if I have an instruction:
'Sign onto PRD database using system/{password}'
then the resulting PDF document shows:
'Sign onto PRD database using system/'
it seems to be reading {password} as a tag, which it does not recognise and therefore ignores.

I know that we can avoid this problem by not using { or } but sometimes we need to be storinng XML blocks for publication as text in our report.

Can anyone help me find a way of getting BI Publisher to understand what we want it to do?

Many thanks,
Martin
