If I'm interpreting right, this should be an example of your problem.


This is an example of what a valid XML file may look like.


Please note that an XML document cannot contain multiple root nodes.

Not having any errors doesn't mean that the application will work as expected. It may instead silently use default values if it didn't detect any recognisable input; default values that may not be what you want.

If you're lucky, the application that uses that XML isn't sensitive to where that XML fragment is located, or the default values happened to be what you wanted. Location of XML fragments can be a factor for XML using apps.

Haha. "<! --" gets escaped as "[bad html removed]". No wonder your code pasting didn't made sense in the first place. Bad forum!

I don't really understand why they sanitised it by replacing it. Isn't escaping it with "&lt;!--" enough?
