ValueEncoding

Sometimes it is important to convert the content of process values in such a way that the result can be used in either JSON, XML or HTML files, or result in a proper URL. To get this done, the standard #REPLACE-...# function can be substituted by specific functions for the desired format. For example

   #REPLACEXML-FORMFIELD-ABC# will convert the formfield ABC for usage within a XML file.
   #REPLACEJSON-TICKET-Description# will convert the ticketing description field for usage with a JSON file
   #REPLACEHTML-VARIABLE-2# will convert the variable 2 content for usage with a XML file
   #REPLACEURL-STEP-PROCESS-Name# will convert the process name for usage in a URL

   #REPLACEPLAIN-...# does no conversion and can be used to overrule system defined encoding.

The standard #REPLACE can be substituted by #REPLACEXML or any other function mentioned above in all situations. When referring to form fields, previously entered fields, variables or any other source.

Original Text

Dearest creature in creation http://,
Study "English" pronunciation.
I will // teach you in my verse;
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, & worse.
I will keep you, #Suzy, busy,
Make your 'head' with heat grow @dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my $prayer$.
