To use a literal less-than operator (the < character) within a STAX xml
file (or any xml file) and not have an XML processor assume it is the
start of a tag (aka element), you must specify entity reference <
instead of <. For example:
<script>
if RC < 0:
errMsg = 'Error: RC=%s' % (RC)
</script>
This is talked about in section "Using Python for Expression Evaluation"
in the STAX User's Guide at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAX/staxug.html#Header_Python where
it says:
Also, note that XML processors assume that < always starts a tag and that
& always starts an entity reference, so you should avoid using those
characters for anything else. You must use the entity reference <
instead of < and entity reference & instead of & or else you'll get an
XML parsing error. This can be difficult sometimes as the < character is
used as the less-than operator in Python, as in this example, where RC < 0
is being assigned to the expression attribute.
<if expr="RC < 0">

Subject: [staf-users] STAXImportError Signal
When I write STAX Script and inside <script> </script> I use the <
operator for Python variable comparison I get STAXImportError error:
"The content of elements must consist of well formed character data or
markup.
How can I sove this?
Regards.
Luca.
