He wants this: <node>x y</node> The XML serializer, though, doesn't normally bother with character entities for normal printable characters like carriage return and line feed. Instead, it outputs this: <node>x y</node> Of, it you explicitly added a CDATA section to the document tree, it might output this: <node>x<![CDATA[ ]]>y</node> I don't usually see XML serializers that bother generating CDATA sections. Instead, they just use character entities to encode whatever characters aren't in the output encoding. If the output encoding is UTF-8 or UTF-16, then nothing gets encoded except ampersand, greater-than, less-than, and apostrophe. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
