vtm XML error

I am getting XML configuration error, why so?

Hi! The vtm/src/vtm.xml file serves as a default settings template and is not directly suitable for use as settings.xml.

vtm/src/vtm.xml needs to be cleared of service C++ inserts, just remove it:

)=="
R"==(
)==" // MSVC2022: C2026 String too big, trailing characters truncated.
```
)=="
#if defined (WIN32)
R"==(
```
```
)=="
#else
R"==(
```
```
)=="
#endif
R"==(
```

Or you can copy the working settings from here. There may be minor differences from the actual default settings. I sometimes forget to sync doc/settings.md with /src/vtm.xml.

You can also get the default settings using the command vtm -l.

But in general you are right, there shouldn’t be such errors and I have to fix the XML parser so that it doesn’t complain about these C++ inserts.
