I use tidy and Amaya to manage XHTML documents. A major annoyance is that they break lines differently, introducing a lot of noise in my CVS/RCS history. A while back, we got some feedback on the XML c14n spec, proposing an alternative line-breaking algorithm: "In [...] significantly enhancing the utility of line-oriented text processing tools in dealing with canonicalized documents, I believe this alternative is worth considering." -- Comments on the WD - A proposed alternative Arjun Ray (Sun, Feb 20 2000) http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-canonicalization-comments/2000Feb/0005.html Basically, you break lines between <tag-name and >, and after each attribute, and line breaks in character data get escaped ( ). I have written it up in some detail; please see: A Handy Line-breaking Algorithm for XML (esp XHTML) http://www.w3.org/2000/08/lb2/ $Revision: 1.10 $ of $Date: 2000/08/08 17:25:41 $ -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
