In article <e24752a10612051124j501ffe3i7469c64a94ea4959@m...> you write:

To conform to the standard, an XML parser must return all whitespace
in content to the application, except that line breaks must be
normalized to a linefeed character.  The idea is that XML applications
don't have to worry about the platform's line-end conventions.  Any of
the following count as a line break: LF, CR LF, and CR not followed by
LF.  So if you get two CRs followed by a LF, you should return two
LFs.  The easiest way to do this is to convert them as you input them,
before parsing.  You can count line numbers at the same time.
