serialization question

hmm I played my game near the start saved and loaded....and it worked,

I played the game a bit further SAVED and LOADED
and it threw a lot of errors like this

Entity: line 2: parser error : Couldn't find end of Start Tag String line 2

looking at the error and the save game file, it happens when someone writes 'lines' on to a piece of paper in the game.

The words on the paper are represented by a list of arrays

every line of text on the paper is an array of words

this must be where it is messing up.

The arrays have only 1 dimension though.



I can see the errors:

lines that look like this are wrong

<field name="_value" ref="33EK1K" type="Object"/>

they should have

</field>

on the end
here is the paper object when it is saved:
