I'm using xml.sax to parse the "datebook" xml file generated by
QTopiaDesktop. When I look at the xml file, some of the
attribute strings have newlines in them (as they are supposed
to).
However, when xml.sax passes the attributes to my
startElement() method the newlines seem to have been deleted.
How do I get the un-munged element attribute values?

newlines as in chr(10) rather than

if so, the only way is to avoid XML: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#AVNormalize
if the "yes, I know, but I have good reasons" approach is okay with you,
and you're big enough to defend yourself against the XML-Is-The-Law
crowd, you can use a "sloppy" XML parsers such as sgmlop to deal with
your files: http://effbot.org/zone/sgmlop-index.htm

Yup, Looks that way.

I can't quite find it in the BNF, but I take it that chr(10)
isn't really allowed in XML attribute strings. IOW, the file
generate by Trolltech's app is broken.

I didn't define the file or write the program that generated
it. It's claimed to be "xml", and I'm just trying to parse it.

Good to know for future reference. For now, I think I'll just
live with the way it works. Everything basically works, except
some strings don't display quite "right". My current app
treats the file as read-only. If I ever get around to
modifying data and writing it back, I'll probably have to deal
with the newline issue at that point.

it's allowed, but the parser must not pass it on to the application.
(in other words, whitespace in attributes doesn't, in general, survive
roundtripping)

Ah, I see. That's good to know.

*argh!* I hate XML! There, now that that's off my chest...
I am trying to save Python code as attributes of an XML tag with
xml.dom.minidom machinery. The code, predicatbly enough, contains newlines.
If I do nothing to my program text, upon output I get XML which looks like
this:

Hi,
I have a requirement to remove the xmlns from the DOM in order to pass over
to MS CRM 3.0 Fetch method.It seems the fetch method blows up if there is a
xmlns present!?!
The reason I have a xmlns present is because the Xml I am passing to CRM is
a node from a bigger file that does require a xmlns and using the DOM
..OuterXml seems to set the xmlns for you automatically - which I don't want.
Any help would be great.

The string 'A\nB\r\nC' contains both forms of newlines.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
