Having the possibility to set the line-ending would heal issues with some editors on the win side which do messy stuff with non-Windows line-endings. I don't know if there are issues on the Mac OS side. Maybe one should consider the addition of such a feature, although, in my opinion, not to the extent of DOM's Load and Save module, where the line-ending can be set to an arbitrary value - I wonder what was the background to allow this: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-LS-20040407/load-save.html#LS- LSSerializer-newLine Regards, Kasimier _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
