http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3630 Summary: Validator incorrectly reports validity for case of illegal escaped newline (but only in certain cases) Product: CSSValidator Version: CSS Validator Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: CSS 2.0 AssignedTo: ot@w3.org ReportedBy: cecil@cecilward.com QAContact: www-validator-cvs@w3.org I believe that the following CSS fragment is illegal, if my reading of CSS 2.1 and CSS 2 is correct, yet the validator reports no error. -- Test case: element {color : red; }\ IMPORTANT NOTE: to reproduce this defect, note the following conditions: (i) a newline must be inserted immediately after the backslash, and (ii) it is important that there be no other characters at all following the newline. Test case checked using direct input mode, grammar CSS2 selected. -- Reasoning: the escaped newline is only legal inside a string, if my reading is correct. See the productions for "string1"/"string2" in CSS2 section D.2. (An aside; FYI: note that the example element {color : red; }\ a {} is rejected, which is as it should be.) Regards, Cecil Ward.
