Does anyone here know whether newlines, form feed or vertical feed are valid within an attribute value (I hope not, otherwise it would make it a lot harder to write a fast xml parser using regex alone)? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dan Shelton <dan.f.shelton@gmail.com> Date: 1 July 2012 17:35 Subject: Re: newline/form feed valid as attribute value?

Clarifying the question: Is this a valid xml fragment: -----cut----- <mytag myattribute="hello world">sometext</mytag> -----cut----- Or as UNIX(TM) shell code: /usr/bin/printf '/<mytag myattribute="hello \n world">sometext</mytag>' Same with form feed: /usr/bin/printf '/<mytag myattribute="hello \f world">sometext</mytag>' Is this valid? Or with vertical feed: /usr/bin/printf '/<mytag myattribute="hello \v world">sometext</mytag>' Is this valid?
