Alternatively, a method to mark a section as NCV data, so that other
extraneous data are not misinterpreted. Could be escaped in markup to
avoid being rendered, like so:

<!--
---NCV-BEGIN---
-->
apples: 3
oranges: 7
<!--
---NCV-END---
-->

Hi Henrik
The NCV feature in Xymon is fantastic, and I love it.
It's a quick and easy way to populate a graph with data.
My problem with it, is it sometimes works too well.
Sometimes, we have output that contains : or = that's not part of the
graphing data, and if you are using SPLIT_NCV, it dutifully tries to graph
this information, often with woeful results.
I am looking for a feature that we can use to tag a line as "NCV leave
this alone!"
Perhaps a string of hidden characters at the end of a line, or even a
string of visible characters, which the display process can strip out.
Regards
Vernon
