ignore

I am parsing an XML with some CData that contains line breaks. The parser ignores these line breaks.

I am trying to figure out a way to catch these newlines in the characters() method and replace them with a break tag for display purposes.

I have tried almost everything under the sun and have been scouring stackoverflow for the past 3 hours.

I tried every combination of replacing "\n", "\r\n" and so on with a break tag in the characters() method of the parser.

I am absolutely helpless right about now.... and would sincerely appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks!!!
