# IdxUseXmlSafeFieldValues

Some control characters cannot be represented in XML format because they are forbidden by the XML specification. When you set this parameter to `TRUE`, characters in document fields that are forbidden in XML are replaced with spaces. You might want to do this so that IDOL Content returns the same values regardless of the response format you choose for your actions.

This parameter applies only when you index documents in IDX format. When you index documents in XML format, the forbidden characters are always replaced by spaces.
