Hi Joost…
hmmm, that is unfortunately not the reality. In fact any newlines/returns
in attributes are collapsed to a single space (saw mentioned somewhere that
this is officially so). This is also what happens here with
clojure.data.xml:
(prn (-> (xml/emit-str (xml/element :foo {:bar "Baz\r\nquux"}))
(xml/parse-str)))
;; => #xml/element{:tag :foo, :attrs {:bar "Baz quux"}}
Ciao
…Jochen
