<snippet from the xml spec> 2.11 End-of-Line Handling To be exactXML parsed entities are often stored in computer files which, for editing convenience, are organized into lines. These lines are typically separated by some combination of the characters carriage-return (#xD) and line-feed (#xA). To simplify the tasks of applications, the characters passed to an application by the XML processor must be as if the XML processor normalized all line breaks in external parsed entities (including the document entity) on input, before parsing, by translating both the two-character sequence #xD #xA and any #xD that is not followed by #xA to a single #xA character. <end snippet of the xml spec>
So we expect the \n from the parser, we don't have to write it that way ;) (hmm really troubled here.. I searched on the word line before and it didn't turn up anything, am I getting crazy here??..)
