How to use escape character in Label

I need to use a label to contain this text : Request Date/time

 <Label Text="Request Date/Time" FontSize="10" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand"  TextColor="Blue"  FontAttributes="Bold"/>

The above markup not working for : / (date/time) , : (date:time)

Thanks

Weird, there should be no problem with that markup and a quick test indicates that I have no apparent errors when trying this. Since XAML is basically just XML, the only characters you need to escape are <, >, & and ". And they can be escaped by using their encoded counterpart (&lt;, &gt;, &amp;, &quot;).

Do you get any error messages or what isn't working according to you?

As a workaround you could specify the text value like this: <Label FontSize="10" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" TextColor="Blue" FontAttributes="Bold">Request Date/Time</Label>
