  No, 1/ XML parser must convert on input
         http://ww
w.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-line-ends
      2/ when serializing an XML toolkit won't add extra
characters to
         the document

Clearly XML tools should have no problem processing the
output and
libxml2 behaviour is the correct one.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your answer. I understand libxml is strictly
following the  
specs.

Still it would be nice if this was a configurable setting.
I know other libraries such as Xerces and MS XML offer this
as a  
setting.

Thanks again,

- Rob Laveaux

  Humpf ... for the xmlSave* functions that could be added
as one
xmlSaveOption, XML_SAVE_EOL_CRLF, but I'm not fond of this
really
this mean you have to check every character in every text
node. This
would require changes to the xmlWriter too, to be
consistent. Lot of
work and I really don't see the point, if people edit XML
by hand,
they better know what they are doing and using a decent
editor is
a basic requirement to do so. And if not editing by hand,
that should
be handled by an XML parser and that won't change anything.
  Sounds a lot of tricky and relatively expensive work for
very little
benefit.
