When converting the Forms modules to XML, the conversion tool substitutes all occurrences of illegal characters with their equivalent escape characters. These characters are listed below. Note that the list contains an additional escape character for new line (\n). This is required to process PL/SQL code and retain the formatting. The Oracle XDK, which creates and parses the XML, performs the substitutions automatically.
