Description

Formats a XML string with color.
This colorizes an existing XML text to show to user.
Keys get blue, text value black, attributes in purple.

Text is returned only with colors. You can apply text font and font size with normal FileMaker functions.
Processing time is linear to length, so should be faster than custom functions.

Examples

Colorize a field:

Set Field [ Data::XML ; MBS("XML.Colorize"; Data::XML) ]

Line numbers, color and format:

MBS( "Text.AddLineNumbers"; MBS( "XML.Colorize"; MBS( "XML.Format"; Buckets::Listing)))

Colorize in Auto-Enter calculation:

MBS("XML.Colorize"; self)

// put this calculation into a field, so the field gets colorized whenever the field is changed and the record gets commited.

Colorize and format in Auto-Enter calculation:

Let ( [
xmlFormatted = MBS("XML.Format"; Self);
xmlFormatFailed = MBS("IsError");
xmlText = If(xmlFormatFailed; Self; xmlFormatted);
result = MBS("XML.Colorize"; xmlText)
]; result )

// put this calculation into a field, so the field gets formated and colorized whenever the field is changed and the record gets commited.
