[Expat-discuss] Line Endings

[jason heddings]

I ended up finding the problem...  It had to do with the way the file was
being opened, rather than a line-ending issue.

Can you be more specific?  I have parsed (with expat) files with UNIX
and Windows line endings without many problems.  The only time I found
a difficulty was if the line endings were significant parts of the data.

The only workaround for this that I could design is to use custom
"escape sequences" to represent the different characters of the line
endings as any XML parser will "normalise" line endings to just a line
feed.
