    @Python I like XML

    @HitWRight I'm not surprised. XML is pretty, has good documentation...

    How could someone not fuck this Up *shrug*

    I share your rage... Some companies sent me CSV instead because they were "unable to generate XML".

    @superposition
    ctrl + f
    search for: (<CDATA>)(*.$)(</CDATA>)
    replace with:
    [x] replace all instances
    [x] Global
    [Search and replace]

    😆
