CharacterEntityToValue Function
Overview
The CharacterEntityToValue function converts an HTML/XML character entity string to a character value.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
dword = CharacterEntityToValue ( string entity, [boolean xml] );
Parameters
entity
A string to convert. It can be an SGML/XML entity name, an HTML 5 entity name, a decimal value or hexadecimal value.
xml
A boolean flag indicating whether to restrict conversion to only XML legal entity names. The default value is FALSE.
Return Value
Returns a dword as the character value or a formatted error code on failure.
Remarks
The function treats all named entities as HTML 5 entity names. HTML 5 entity names are fairly loose, for example, > and > are treated as the same while > is an error in XML or XHTML. Setting the xml parameter to TRUE restricts the named characters to <, >, &, " and '.
Note that Unicode-32 values cannot be directly represented within a wchar data type. In such cases, the value must be encoded as a UTF-16 wstring.
