13. Is it possible to display a formatted text in a popup window?
The popup window allows you to display HTML formatted texts. Open the locator_map.xml in any text editor and in the <comment> section of the desired region create a CDATA element with your HTML formatted text inside as shown below:
... <state> <id>7</id> <name>Michigan</name> <link></link> <comment><![CDATA[<font size="15"><b>Address:</b> Main str, 123-45<br><b>Phone:</b> +1-875-555-**** <b><a href="http://www.site.com/chat.php">Online chat</font></b></a>]]></comment> <color_map>0x7798BA</color_map> <color_map_over>0x0054A6</color_map_over> <frame></frame> <image></image> </state> ...
Alternatively, you can paste HTML without using CDATA, but you will need to escape all special characters, for instance, the following HTML:
<i>Italic text</i>
transforms to:
<i>Italic text</i>
In the XML it looks as follows:
... <state> <id>7</id> <name>Michigan</name> <link></link> <comment><i>Italic text</i></comment> <color_map>0x7798BA</color_map> <color_map_over>0x0054A6</color_map_over> <frame></frame> <image></image> </state> ...
Of course, it is difficult to convert an HTML to the escaped version manually, so you can use any automatic HTML encoders:
