I am setting up an RSS feed, the way the XML is stored, as is common sense to anyone who knows a fair bit about xml or html, the white space is not preserved. I have done some research and not found any answers yet, but was wondering what the newline character is for XML. I.e the equivalent to a carriage return, \n, or <br>
Many thanks!

P.s. I am well aware this may be a dumb question.

  • Why do you need it? Anyway it's the common \n.
    is a tag for html only.     – Aurelio De Rosa Nov 01 '11 at 03:03
  • When I display my RSS feed in a block on my page, there is no line between the end of one post and the start of the next, would ideally like to change that. That's why :) – gkiar Nov 01 '11 at 12:23

A CDATA section maybe? http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect

I've never used it for an RSS feed. But to illustrate, here's a CDATA newline:

<mytag><![CDATA[ here is
some text ]]></mytag>

Try using the escape code %0D%0A%.
