Hi,
I would like to use that command for placing a pagebreak after a xml element but the string is just considered as plain text.
Is it possible to do so ?

myRoot.xmlElements[0].xmlElements[1].insertTextAsContent ("^P", XMLElementPosition.AFTER_ELEMENT)

I tried \^P but get strange result. The backslash does not appear but the string ^P does.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance.

Loic

Hi Loic,

How about:



myRoot.xmlElements[0].xmlElements[1].insertTextAsContent (SpecialCharacters.pageBreak, XMLElementPosition.AFTER_ELEMENT);

Thanks,

Ole
