Yes I have the following code:
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat("xml", "UTF-8", false);
format.setIndenting(false);
format.setPreserveSpace(true);
format.setOmitComments(false);
format.setStandalone(true);
format.setOmitXMLDeclaration(true);
format.setLineSeparator(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(out, format);
serializer.setNamespaces(true);
serializer.serialize(e);
The source document has the CRs and LFs as and these are then
written out as CR / LF by XMLSerializer. The resulting XSLT is then
misinterpreted by Xalan (matching a space rather than a CR or LF). It is
nasty having CR or LF in the middle of an attribute and I think that there
should be an option at least to stop this happening. The code seems to use
the same 2 functions to escape the output - printEscaped and printXMLChar -
these functions never do anything different for attribute or element text.
Cheers

Subject: Re: XMLSerializer attributes and carriage returns - bug?
Have you tried setting preserve space to true in the OutputFormat object?
I thought that XMLSerializer normalized space unless you told it otherwise.
It also truncates long lines unless you tell it otherwise. I know that
line truncation is by design, so I'm assuming that space normalization is
also.

attributes and carriage returns - bug?

Please respond to

I have an XML document that contains carriage returns and line feeds in
attributes. When I serialize this document with XMLSerializer these
carriage returns and line feeds appear in the output as exactly that - but
this then causes problems using the document as an XSLT, escaping the
carriage returns and line feeds stops any problems. I have written some
code that should fix these problems, but was this by design or is this a
bug? If this is a bug then I'll send my new code sample in with a bug
report, if not is there any way to get the current XMLSerializer to escape
the carriage returns and line feeds in attributes (does not look like there
is any code to do this)?
Thanks
