[x3d-public] question on MFStrings in XML.

[Joe D Williams]

did I make a mistake?

string='"a""b"'
string='"a" "b"'
string='"a","b"'

all are good as input
plus

string='"a"   .  "b"'
string='"a"   "b"'

and I can't list the big number of other combos of space(s) and 
aand/or a single comma now, but also as input, any of those above 
should be good.

The preferred form is of course:
string='"a","b"'
like all other MFs.

Thanks,
Joe

Yes, the missing space is there too.  Search for "" in

Thanks!

more precisely

https://savage.nps.edu/Savage/AircraftFixedWing/F16-FightingFalcon-Turkey/F16.html

<Text string='"Target Locked" " FIRE!..""(Green Button)"'/>

This is a bug in X3dToXhtml.xslt stylesheet.  (I think Roy reported 
this as well).  There are also special-character issues which Andreas 
reported which need to be addressed.

Will investigate.
