malformed xml tags

[ozaz]

Not sure if this is a bug, or something I did wrong ( probably the latter    )

Noticed a few sequences with malformed xml tags eg:

Code: [Select]

<comment/>
instead of:

Code: [Select]

<comment></comment>
Reason I was looking at code was the sequence was showing in xSchedule / Check Schedule as using twice as many channels as are configured to be sent out.

I recreated the sequence by creating a new sequence and mapping the previous sequence (great tip @keithsw1111 ) All the malformed xml tags were fixed. This also fixed the additional channels issue.

Question is - how did the malformed tags get there?
If it's a bug, could it be fixed please.
If it's something I did wrong, could you let me know so I don't do it again.


Note: sequence ran ok from xschedule ( a credit to the programmers )

What makes you think it is malformed. It looks ok to me.

<comment/> is a shortcut for <comment></comment>. it is legal html

what made me think it was malformed was it was the sequence showing double number of channels in check schedule. Beside comment and various other empty tags there was a few empty effects tags like that as well.

After redoing sequence all the empty tags where in format <xxxx></xxxx> there were no empty effects tags, and it passed the check schedule check.

I put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5      my bad

Thanks @sean for your answer wasn't aware that /  is a shortcut for ></.  You learn something new everyday or get reminded of something you forgot long ago
