Hi Folks,

For many relational operators there is a short string that represents the operator, e.g.,

	<=	le
	!= 	ne

In XML there is a short string that represents reserved symbols, e.g.,

	&	amp
	<	lt

Consider this empty XML element:

	<Test/>

The "/>" symbol indicates the element is empty.

Is there a short string that is commonly used to represent the symbol that indicates the element is empty?

	/>	???

/Roger
