Disabling the automatic HTML-entity unescape function

When link tracking is enabled for the HTML body section, XMLDelivery automatically carries out an unescape operation on all HTML entities it finds in the XML instructions file.

Example:

    <a href="http://www.example.com">Description</a>

becomes:

    <a href="http://www.example.com">Description</a>

Use

If you do not want XMLDelivery to carry out the unescape operation when HTML link tracking is activated, do the following:

  • Set unescape enabled to "false" in the preferences element of the HTML body section

Example:

    <body>
    <html>
      ....
      <preferences>
          <stats>
              <links>parse</links>
              <unescape enabled="false">
          </stats>
      </preferences>

The default value is "true".

Note:

If you disable the unescape functionality, you can still enable support for ERB expressions in the message body. See Enabling ERB evaluation when unescape is disabled for more details.
