RE: [xsl] Cannot output CRLF
Subject: RE: [xsl] Cannot output CRLF From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 2 May 2006 18:47:16 +0100 |
The XML parser is required to normalize CRLF to LF on input; the XSLT processor only sees LF. The serializer is allowed to output a newline using any representation that the parser will normalize back to LF, but the chances are that it will simply use LF. If the document is going to be read by a conformant XML parser, it doesn't make any difference. It's only when you want to read it using an inflexible text editor or similar that you get problems. The answer is to postprocess.
