Regex, verbatim string literals, list

[Kristaps Karlsons]

Hi, list.

I'm currently developing rss feed for our homepage. The problem we're having is - we need to replace description to show images properly in rss.

Currently I'm stuck here:
<%
string descr; // define string descr outside of loop
%>

<!IoRangeList><!IoRangeNoRedDotMode><!IoRangeRedDotMode><%list_nextLevel%><!/IoRangeRedDotMode><!/IoRangeNoRedDotMode>
<item>
    <title><![CDATA[<%headline%>]]></title>
    <link>http://www.example.com<%list_nextLevel%></link>
    <pubDate><%info_timedate_created%> <%= timeZone %></pubDate>
    <description><![CDATA[<%
        descr = @"<%text%>"; // exception
    %>]]></description>
</item>
<!/IoRangeList>

The problem is - <%text%> is multiline text with unescaped single quotes (e.g. <a href="url">text</a>).

Best regards,
Kristaps

Hi Kristaps,

We had the same issue getting them into c# strings, in the end we went
for:

string descr = @"<%!!
Escape:HtmlEncode(Context:CurrentPage.Elements.GetElement(String:text).Value) !!
%>";

which seems to work well for us, we do of course have to unencode it
later.

Hi, Rich.

Unfortunately it returns nothing. Do I have to wrap it with <reddot:cms></reddot:cms> or change Context (as you see, I'm in a list_nextLevel loop)? I haven't used render tags previously.

Thank you.

Hi,

Not used it in a loop like that, but you won't need the <reddot:cms>
tags as it has the <%!! instead. You can look it up in the Navagion
Manager PDF for clarification. Which reminds me, for this to work you
will need Nav Man turned on.

To use it inside a list loop, you will need to use something like
this:
Context:Pages.GetPage(Guid:<%inf_pageguid%>)
** the pageguid info element of the page will need to passed through
to the loop for it to work ***

There is a performance hit using this method, so i would only suggest
using it if you are only returning a moderate amount of pages in the
list.
