Sorry for not being clear. I probably don't understand the problem very well. I thought it was a "paste text from external application" problem which brings you superfluous '\r' chars. May be if you send me one of these files + associated XXE configuration, the problem will become obvious. PS: XXE always displays '\r' and '\t' as boxes because: [1] We have not found another way to display these whitespace characters. [2] We really need to display them in order to show user that they exist and to let user select them, delete them, etc. In principle, this feature should not annoy you.
