Attribute value containing new lines

[Verker, Anat]

Hi,

I've encountered a problem when using new lines in attribute value.
This is a fragment from the original xml file I used:

<text text1="aaa&#xA;bbb&#xA;ccc"/>

According to the Attribute-Value Normalization algorithm 
(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#AVNormalize) a character reference (i.e. &#xA;) is 
replaced with the referenced character (i.e. 0xA).
After parsing, I write the content to a file (using the sample code of 
SAXPrintHandlers). The value written to the file doesn't contain &#xA; but 0xA.
Then I parse the xml again, but not the original xml file, but the file that I 
previously created. Now, according to the Attribute-Value Normalization algorithm, 0xA 
is replaced with a space character, which means that I'm losing my new line.

This is the code fragment where I write the attribute values:

// attributes is of type AttributeList
// fFormatter is of type XMLFormatter

for (unsigned int i = 0; i < attributes.getLength(); i++) {
        fFormatter
                << XMLFormatter::NoEscapes
                << chSpace << attributes.getName(i)
                << chEqual << chDoubleQuote
                << XMLFormatter::AttrEscapes
                << attributes.getValue(i)
                << XMLFormatter::NoEscapes
                << chDoubleQuote;
}

I tried replacing each 0xA with &#xA; before writing the attribute value to the 
formatter, but then I got the following output:
<text text1="aaa&amp;#xA;bbb&amp;#xA;ccc"/>
When I omitted XMLFormatter::AttrEscapes I got the following output:
<text text1="aaa&#xA;bbb&#xA;ccc"/>
This is actually what I want but I'm not sure that omitting XMLFormatter::AttrEscapes 
is the right solution (it can harm other things, can't it?).

Please advise.

Thanks,
Anat Verker.
