2.2.2 Editing a file externally
To create or edit an XML file on an external PC with Windows, use a text editor that supports
the required "UTF-8" coding, e.g. "TextPad".
This means that you can enter or directly insert all characters of the unicode system without
rewriting them using the keyboard.
If files with a different coding are saved, the special characters are not correctly displayed in
the editor. In SINUMERIK Operate, there is no automatic conversion into the UTF-8 coding!
Saving the XML file in UTF-8 coding
1. Select the "Save As" dialog box.
2. Set the character set to "UTF-8".
Entering comments in an XML file
If you are entering comments to explain a program, you must keep the following in mind:
● A comment always begins with the character string: <!--
● A comment ends with the character string: -->
