heh,

alas. its apple. which means i can spend the rest of my life complaining they wrote the only ever xml importer that case specific (and different cases based on node hierarchy!!!) or i can try to sell my app. so i'm stuck dancing with the girl who brought me.

the other idea i've had is to open the file as text, convert the 
 to something else that the xml parser wont change, then find and replace it again on output... far from ideal though - im hoping there's a trick to get RB to leave the 
 alone.

the only solution ive found so far is to render the xml to a string with preserve whitespace turned off... then doing a replaceall to catch any remaining returns and replace them with

any ideas?

If you are in communication with the developers of the other application, you could have them wrap the contents in CDATA tags. Is that an option?
