Stylus Studio to the Rescue

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Stylus studio is my favourite xml/xsd editor and has come to rescue again by escaping my xml attribute values when editing in grid mode. A simple feature you might think but important when you’re wrestling with siteMapNode urls in .Net.

Recently I was given a messy looking file url to link to, this included spaces and ampersands… escaping by hand was ok but simply pasting the value into stylus studio was much better and worked for IE.
