XML entities are replaced with corresponding character
Closed this issue · 3 comments
I'm not sure if it's intended, but XML entities are replaced with their corresponding charachter during rearrangement.
For example, I substituted an en dash in my strings.xml with – to prevent confusion with the normal dash.
Before rearrangement:
<string name="timePeriod">27.09.2017, 10:00 – 27.09.2017, 11:00</string>
After rearrangement:
<string name="timePeriod">27.09.2017, 10:00 – 27.09.2017, 11:00</string>
Can you please include an option in the popup dialog to disable this behaviour if this is actually intended.
Thanks!
Hi @xvlcw
Before rearrangement:
27.09.2017, 10:00 – 27.09.2017, 11:00
After rearrangement:
27.09.2017, 10:00 – 27.09.2017, 11:00
This is not intended. I will fix problem.
But, I may take time for fix.
Thanks issue !

I investigated this and I thought not bug.
XML have "numeric character references" and "string entity references".
IntelliJ IDE can't refer a part of "string entity references", and convert it to actual on default.
- and – is same mean on XML.
Why do you use – (numeric character reference) ?
Example...
| actual | string | 10 numeric | 16 numeric |
|---|---|---|---|
> |
< |
< |
< |
- |
– |
– |
– |
> can refer all references, and <<< replaced to <<<.
- can't refer –, and –– replaced to --.
In my opinion.
Make a list of actual condition and "numeric character references" that IntelliJ IDE can't refer a part of "string entity references".
Add option that actual condition convert to "numeric character references".
You can solve the problem.
But, all actual condition are converted. It's not good. 🤔
@xvlcw I will close after 3 days if no response. 😓 🙏
