Parser not preserving carriage return character

["Rathi, Pradeep" <pr...@documentum.com>]

Hi,

I've noticed that the carriage return character of Windows i.e. "\r\n" is
not handled correctly by the xerces parser. It is converted to "\n". Has
anyone run into similar problems and if so are there any solutions?

To reproduce:
1. Have a xml file that contains the windows carriage return character in
the content of an element.
2. Have a ContentHandler and in the characters() method, print the
characters to a file.
3. Open the file in vi or notepad and you should see control characters
instead of the line separators.

Thanks,
Pradeep

It's not a bug in the parser. It's what the XML spec says the parser
must do. See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-line-ends

Any parsers you have seen which do *not* behave this way fail to conform
to section 2.11 [1] of the XML recommendation.
