_ASSERTE((unsigned)(c + 1) <= 256);

[Loreia2]

Hi,

I use tinyxmlparser as part of Notepad++ project (http://svn.tuxfamily.org/viewvc.cgi/notepadplus_repository/trunk/PowerEditor/src/TinyXml/), and I am getting an assert error whenever tinyxmlparser tries to read a XML file with some exotic Unicode character (say this one http://www.codetable.net/hex/2190 ):

This is what XML code looks like:

~~~~~~~~~~
<keywords name="Delimiters1, close">←</keywords>
~~~~~~~~~~~

And what I get is this (obviously 8592 > 256):

~~~~~~~~~
_ASSERTE((unsigned)(c + 1) <= 256);
~~~~~~~~

Is there a way to avoid this problem, would upgrade of tinyXML help?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Loreia

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language used to store and transport data. It is both human-readable and machine-readable, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, from web services to data storage.

Here's a basic guide on how to write XML code:

Step-by-Step Guide to Writing XML
Define the XML Declaration: Every XML file should start with an XML declaration that specifies the version and the character encoding.

Copy code

Create the Root Element: XML documents must have a single root element that contains all other elements. Choose a name that represents the content.

xml
Copy code

<bookstore>
</bookstore>
Add Child Elements: Inside the root element, add child elements to represent the data structure.

xml
Copy code

<bookstore>
<book>
<title>XML Developer's Guide</title>
<author>John Doe</author>
<price>29.99</price>
</book>
</bookstore>
Add Attributes to Elements: Attributes provide additional information about elements. They are added within the start tag of an element.

</bookstore>
Use Proper Nesting and Closing Tags: XML requires every opening tag to have a corresponding closing tag. Tags must be properly nested.

<book category="Fiction">
<title>The Great Novel</title>

</book>
</bookstore>
Add Comments: You can include comments to describe the structure or provide additional information. Comments are not displayed in the XML output.

</book>

</bookstore>
Key Rules of XML
Well-formed XML: Every XML document must be well-formed:

All tags must be properly closed.
Tags must be nested correctly.
Attribute values must be enclosed in quotes.
XML is case-sensitive (<book> is different from <book>).
No Reserved Characters: You must escape special characters like <, >, &, " and ':</book></book>

< becomes <

becomes >
& becomes &
" becomes "
' becomes '
Example of a Complete XML Document
Here is a complete example of an XML document representing a bookstore with two books:

<book category="Fiction">
<title>The Great Novel</title>
<author>Jane Smith</author>
<price>19.95</price>
</book>
</bookstore>
Tools for Writing XML
You can write XML using any text editor like Notepad, VS Code, or Sublime Text.
For a more robust experience, use an IDE with XML support, such as XMLSpy, Oxygen XML Editor, or Eclipse.
