If you really need the non-normalized text you'd need to change your application so that it uses XNI directly (rather than SAX). > Is there any way to configure Xerces to not normalize attribute > values even when the DTD is declared? Whether your document has a DTD or not is irrelevant. The FAQ (on the Xerces 1.x site) you read is wrong. Normalization [2] is required for every attribute value. You cannot disable this behaviour. > Best regards, > Daniel Yokomizo > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks.
