Re: Arrgh, more XML/HTML problems now it's '&'
Hi Justin
We too are having problems doing very much the same thing.
We are having major problems with the serializer adding line breaks to list
elements such as <ul><li>blah</li></ul> is being parsed out as:
<ul>
<li>blah</li>
</ul>
We are using a middleware product called the VCe that look at the output
from a form and when it sees a line break it puts in a <br /> tag (among
other things). This ends up with the following output
<ul><br />
<br />
<li>blah</li><br />
<br />
</ul><br />
And of course if the users edit this content again it goes into:
<ul><br /><br />
<br /><br />
<li>blah</li><br /><br />
<br /><br />
</ul><br /><br />
The best solution for us is to somehow tell the serializer (html) not to
format or add line breaks to list elements but how how that is the
question???

Try adding <indent> element to serializer's configuration:
<map:serializer ...>
<indent>no</indent>
