Help:Editing XML

From wiki.opentravel.org

If you want to enter XML samples into a wiki page, you have two options.

You can enter it directly into the page, ensuring that every line is indented at least one character off of the left hand margin.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<OTA_PingRQ
    xmlns="http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2002/08"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2002/08 /usr/rubicon/spadkins/src/OTA/Business-Travel-OTA/schemas/2002A/OTA_PingRQ.xsd"
    TimeStamp="2002-12-03T11:09:47-05:00"
    Target="Production"
    Version="2002A"
    SequenceNmbr="1" >
  <EchoData>Are you there?</EchoData>
</OTA_PingRQ>

Or you can use the fancy syntax highlighting feature. To do this, you simply surround the XML with <code> tags like this. (You must include the language formatting hint "[xml]" right after the <code> tag.)

<code>[xml]
<xml sample="goes">
  <here/>
</xml>
</code>

Here is an example.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<OTA_PingRQ
    xmlns="http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2002/08"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2002/08 /usr/rubicon/spadkins/src/OTA/Business-Travel-OTA/schemas/2002A/OTA_PingRQ.xsd"
    TimeStamp="2002-12-03T11:09:47-05:00"
    Target="Production"
    Version="2002A"
    SequenceNmbr="1" >
  <EchoData>Are you there?</EchoData>
</OTA_PingRQ>

There are variations to the formatting hint syntax.

Usage in mediawiki
 <code>[lang,line_no,start_at,range(1-4,6-7)]...</code>
Examples
 <code>[lang]...</code> // line_no default=Y, start_at default=1
 <code>[lang,N]...</code> // no line numbers
 <code>[lang,5]...</code> // start at line 5 (with line numbers
 <code>[lang,Y,5]...</code> // deprecated - same as above
                            // ('Y' is implied by start_at)
 <code>[lang,1,(3-5,7)]...</code> // mark lines 3,4,5 and 7
  - lang is required, others are optional
  - line_no default is Y, start_at is default to 1

The language highlighting feature installed on this wiki are from http://mercury.it.swin.edu.au/swinbrain/index.php/CodeSyntaxHighlight_MediaWiki_Extension.

The syntax highlighting will work for a variety of computer languages, not just "[xml]". So if you want to include code snippets from any of the following languages (i.e. "perl"), just substitute the appropriate hint (i.e. "[perl]" instead of "[xml]").
