Question about org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer
When I am serializing an XML document with the following OutputFormat, the new lines in attributes and comments are being replaced with a white space. Does anyone know if this is a bug or should I be setting some other option to preserve the newlines.
OutputFormat ofXML = new OutputFormat( document );
ofXML.setIndenting(false) ;
ofXML.setPreserveSpace(true) ;

New lines in attributes is per the XML specification. The parser will do
the same when it reads the document in. Attributes values are subject to
some normalization rules, see the XML specification.
New lines in comments is the fault of the serializer, which applies its
own reformatting rules. Shouldn't be hard to change by making comments
serialize as whitespace preserving.

I forgot to mention that I am using xerces 1.3.0 DOM implementation and
org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer class for serialization.

You will never preserve such information with DOM implementation independent
serializer (such as serialie package) since DOM does not contain it.
