Re: Detecting carriage return and newline feed in XML

Michael>But not if they are written as character references.

Just to clarify, since we were both a bit brief:

The newlines in the source were (presumably) literal newlines so are
reported as space. The newlines in your xselect attribute were written
as numeric character references so are not normalised and are reported
as newline characters, so they are not equal, and more generally if the
newlines in your source are explict there is no way of detecting them
in any XML application.
