XML file comments containing "--" may cause validators to show an error, and editors to consider large parts of files to be comments for the purpose of syntax highlighting and code completion.
Here is a partial diff:
- <!-- ------------------------- FARM ATTACHMENTS ------------------------- --> + <!-- FARM ATTACHMENTS -->
While this may not affect the operation of DayZ, it does significantly impact the tools used to modify and check DayZ configuration files.
See bash script below. Alternatively, edit cfgrandompresets.xml, cfgspawnabletypes.xml, or mapgroupproto.xml in VS Code and note the commented code, or upload to a web based XML validator and note the resulting errors.
Note how the XML elements following the invalid comment are considered to be comments.
This issue is worse as of 1.12.
Here's a bash script that can be run against the mission files to check their validity using xmllint:
#!/bin/bash
check_xml_wellformed()
{
find . -type f -name "*.xml" | while read FILE; do
mimetype=`file --brief --mime-type $FILE`
# if file is an xml file, check that it is well-formed
if [ $mimetype == 'application/xml' ] || [ $mimetype == 'text/xml' ]; then
if ! xmllint --noout $FILE; then
echo "========================"
echo "XML but not well-formed"
echo "========================"
echo ""
retval=1
else
echo "XML check for $FILE: OK"
fi
fi
done
if [[ $retval -gt 0 ]]; then
exit $retval
fi
}

XML but not well-formed
========================
XML check for ./dayzxb_missions/dayzOffline.chernarusplus/mapgrouppos.xml: OKIn addition to this ticket, here some documentation about XML comments :
Despite not being strictly prohibited in the RFC (link n°1), this kind of comments "MUST NOT occur" (link n°2, section 2.5) :
"[Definition: Comments may appear anywhere in a document outside other markup; in addition, they may appear within the document type declaration at places allowed by the grammar. They are not part of the document's character data; an XML processor MAY, but need not, make it possible for an application to retrieve the text of comments. For compatibility, the string " -- " (double-hyphen) MUST NOT occur within comments.] Parameter entity references MUST NOT be recognized within comments."
I did not capitalize the letters of "MUST NOT" myself, you can see they are already capitalized in the original documentation for a good reason...
It's really annoying having to clean first Dayz XML-formatted files first before being able to parse them to do stuff or simply search for errrors.
The 3 first online XML validators I have found online detect the comments in Dayz reported above files as errors. Same with the first XML parser I had on hand (default Powershell XML native tools with a Windows 10 workstation).
Maybe these comments would be better in a specific more detailled documentation webpage as you did for other Dayz server specific files on https://community.bistudio.com/wiki .
