Hi Martin, when serializing text via fn:serialize, fn:xml-to-json, csv:serialize or json:serialize, newlines in the output will be normalized to \n. However, the chosen newline value will indeed be output if you define serialization parameters globally… (: Variant 1, specific to BaseX :) declare option output:newline '\r'; 1,2 (: Variant 2 :) declare option output:item-separator ' '; 1,2 …or if you pass on serialization parameters to a function that serializes data to somewhere else (e.g., with file:write). I guess we should describe the details somewhere in our documentation. Best, Christian On Tue, Sep 4, 2018 at 11:29 AM Martin Honnen <martin.honnen@gmx.de> wrote:
When I run
contains(serialize("Line 1. Line 2. Line 3.", map { "method" : "text", "newline" : "\r\n" }), ' ')
in BaseX 9.0.2 (from the command line basex.bat or in the GUI) I get the result "false" while I expected "true".
Have I not provided the newline option correctly?
