There is nothing wrong with the file you sent me. A software is expected to accept the UTF-8 encoding. A software is not expected to behave differently just because the XML file contains more or less whitespace (unless the xml:space="preserve" attribute is set on an element). In our opinion, the culprit is the sofware that consumes the XML file created using XMLmind XML Editor, and not XMLmind XML Editor. This being said, we'll try to solve your problem: [1] Change the encoding from UTF-8 to US-ASCII. May be your software will prefer to see the `` and '' characters as "“" and "”" rather than UTF-8 double bytes. Use Options|Preferences, Save section. Select "US-ASCII" using the "Encoding" combobox. [2] We'll now remove the indentation added by XMLmind XML Editor. * Non-indented style [a] Use Options|Preferences, Save section. Uncheck the "Indent" checkbox. This will give you attached file data_A.xml. Ugly, but 100% conforming. * Non-indented style [b] Use Options|Preferences, Save section. Check the "Indent" checkbox. Specify Indentation = 0 Specify Max. Line Length = 10000000 Uncheck "Add Open Lines". This will give you attached file data_B.xml. More Information in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.guiutil.PreferencesEditorDialog.html#saveOptions If after doing [1] then [2][a] or [2][b], your software still does not like the XML created using XMLmind XML Editor, then I'm affraid that you'll have to use another XML Editor (because the XML we generate is 100% conforming and there is nothing we could fix). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
