Fredrik Lundh <fred...@effbot.org> added the comment: The real problem here is that XML attributes weren't really designed to hold data that doesn't survive normalization. One would have thought that making it difficult to do that, and easy to store such things as character data, would have made people think a bit before designing XML formats that does things the other way around, but apparently some people finds it hard having to use their brain when designing things...
FWIW, the current ET 1.3 beta escapes newline but not tabs and carriage returns; I don't really mind adding tabs, but I'm less sure about carriage return -- XML pretty much treats CT as a junk character also outside attributes, and escaping it in all contexts would just be silly. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7139> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
