ui:special

The inner nodes of the ui:special element are expanded without applying the default output encoding. Normally, every character data node is HTML-encoded before included into the output stream such that the characters <, >, &, and " are properly quoted. Inside ui:special this quoting is turned off.

Declaration

Level: Control structure

<!ELEMENT ui:special ANY>

Sub elements

All page body elements are allowed.

Example

<ui:page name="sample">
  <ui:special>This outputs &amp;nbsp;, a non-breakable space.</ui:special>
</ui:page>

Note that we have to write & because the XML parser requires this. This page generates the string "This outputs  , a non-breakable space." Without the ui:special element, the page would be expanded to "This outputs &nbsp;, a non-breakable space."
