Overview
The IsPCDATARequired function tests if a string contains characters that would require encoding for representation in SGML, HTML, or XML.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
boolean = IsPCDATARequired ( string value );
Parameters
value
A string to test.
Return Value
Returns a boolean value as TRUE if value requires PCDATA encoding or FALSE if it does not.
Remarks
PCDATA (Parsed Character Data) encoding ensures text between SGML, HTML, and XML start and end tags is properly parsed. The IsPCDATARequired function checks the ‘&’, ‘<’, and ‘>’ characters, as well as control characters and characters above 0x7F as requiring encoding. Tabs, newlines and returns are excluded and assumed to be simple white space.
