Am i missing something? im close to what i would like to output which would be</p> <pre><code>I'm here to thank you for your crazy genius parenting. +Forbes was there at the first Take Your Parents to Work Day held at our New York.... </code></pre> <p>im assuming the ??? means "'" and the ?? means " " so i could replace those but should i be doing that?</p> <p>PS: i got the MLStripper class from here so kuddos to the original author!</p>

    3. CO@Eevee you are correct. It is being misinterpreted. Writing to a while fixes this issue. Any Idea why this happens? Does this mean that if i send this string of data through the serial cable it might be misinterpreted on a console elsewhere?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
