Keep XML parser from eating linefeed in element data ??

["Andy Rappaport" <Andy@bladelogic.com>]

Hello,

 

Does anyone know how I can encode a raw line feed as part of XML element data such that

when the parser returns it to me the linefeed remains? 

 

Raw String:           Hello world\n    <-note trailing linefeed. 

 

I can encode it to:  <TAG>Hello world&#10;</TAG>

 

Returned string      Hello world  <-no trailing linefeed

 

My XML parser,  expat SAX, always eats the linefeed.   Carriage returns can be encoded fine and parsed fine.

 

Anything thing I have been able to find on XML char encoding always lists linefeed as an exception to the rules. I’ve tried CDATA – no luck. 

 

Any ideas or references?

 

 

Thanks,

Andy
