Minor issue building from Command Line

Including an ampersand in Changes section in newversions.xml (see your example at http://wyday.com/wybuild/help/commandline.php) causes the command line process to fail.

To repro, in the <Changes> node alter "Some very very cool stuff" to "Some very very cool stuff & More"The output from the command line points directly at the location of the issue, so it's not a big problem.

The XML file must use proper "escaping". So a "&" character isn't a valid "standalone" character in a properly formed XML file. The proper escaping for the "&" character is "&amp;".

There are 5 "escape" characters in total:

"      &quot;'      &apos;<      &lt;>      &gt;&      &amp;

OK - thanks Wyatt, we're creating the xml file and pulling in comments from source control during the build process. We'll write something to escape the necessary characters prior to creating the xml file. (I guess I was being lazy!)

Is there anywhere posted on this site a place to find out the possible options that can be included in the changelog XML?

For Example, I am parsing an SVN Log and would like to put in a bold heading, as well as some \n (new lines) but am unsure how to put them in my newversion.xml so that they will be rendered properly in the changelog screen.

Any help there would be appreciated. I will make sure I escape the char like & and such as needed.

Just the build from commandline article. To put your changes on separate lines just put them on separate lines in the XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Versions>    <AddVersion>        <Version>1.2</Version>        <Changes>Line 1Line 2Line 3etc...</Changes>


        ...    </AddVersion></Versions>
and would like to put in a bold heading

Right now the changelog format is plaintext, so you can't add bold text. We plan on supporting HTML in the future.

OK, thanks. I will try and add the return to each line in my xsl file.

I was hoping there was a way to bold, when I saw your change log with 2.6.17.1... I pulled it up and saw the bolded text for each version and got quite excited. Hopefully that at least can be enabled for us sooner than later.

Thanks again.
