Special Characters

Is it possible to use a 'special' character as a tag value?

I've got a tag called 'Damage', which can take a value of '#' on the
card. I'm currently transforming it to a 'X', but it'd be nice if I
could show what's actually on the card instead. I've tried the
numerical entity but it doesn't seem to be interested.

Any takers?

Steve.

Here is an example from the l5r.def file:

<group id="force" name="Force" heading="For" width="8" alignment="center"
duplicates="yes" sequence="explicit">
<value id="dash" name="--" order="26"/>
<value id="splat" name="*" order="26"/>
<value id="psplat" name="+*" order="26"/>
<value id="neg5" name="-5" order="25"/>
<value id="neg4" name="-4" order="24"/>
<value id="neg3" name="-3" order="23"/>
<value id="neg2" name="-2" order="22"/>
<value id="neg1" name="-1" order="21"/>
...

You can make the tag anything you want, and by using the name="" field, you can
display it as it is supposed to be on the card.

So, you can do something like

<value id="hash" name="#"/>

and that will do what you need.

Exactly what I was looking for (and it even works in a dynamic group
I'd missed), thanks Kuni!
