Hello James,
Thanks again, this saves me having to hack my version!

Hi Thomas
 
You're right on both counts. Well spotted! ;-)
 
I've made the default line seperator to be "\n" now by default and the default encoding "UTF-8" rather than "UTF8".
 
Also I've made asXML() now depend on outputFormat = new OutputFormat() which won't append any extra whitespace or new lines.
 
Thanks for spotting these Thomas. These changes should be in CVS by the time you've received this email.

Subject: [dom4j-dev] Document.asXML() uses CRLF?

Document.asXML() seems to depend on

outputFormat = new OutputFormat( "  ", false );

OutputFormat.java:42 has

 private String lineSeparator = "\r\n";

which surprised me - from http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#sec-line-ends :

>>>

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.

<<<

I'm not sure whether this applies tasXMLo (), but I'd thought the rule of thumb was "XML uses LF".

If people do not want to change this, could a call to

outputFormat.setLineSeparator(System.getProperty("line.separator"));

be triggered by one of the OutputFormat constructors?

BTW, I think line 27 in OutputFormat.java

    private String encoding = "UTF8";

should perhaps be "UTF-8" - see http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#charencoding sec 4.3.3

Thanks again,

Thomas.
