special characters support

[selvakumarParticipant]

Hi Eric,
Could you give me the guidance what are all the special characters are not allowed when replacing the content in presentation template. eg: data.replace(<<tag1>>, “example’s “); here I used single quotes, likewise what are special characters and special symbols are not supported.
I am using java script.

Replacing content in PresentationML is significantly more complicated than calling a replace function, not least of all because content can be spread across multiple runs, and the content you want to search for might not be in a single run.

Have you considered using the OpenXmlRegex module? It can search and replace within PPTX. I recommend that you watch the two screen-casts at this link:
