How to insert a new line character inside CDATA tag in the source xml data file?

Question

values for form fields in the xml data file is contained inside CDATA tags which is an Unparsed Format.
Eg: [CDATA[IBM-01 ~ DSHFSJDSJ ~ FGFGFJ, ~ VA 665665]] delimited by "~" char
Actual o/p:-
IBM-01 ~ DSHFSJDSJ ~ FGFGFJ, ~ VA 665665
Expected o/p is like :-
IBM-01
DSHFSJDSJ
FGFGFJ,
VA 665665
live cycle product does not interpret ~ as a newline character. Please suggest which character should be used instead inside CDATA section or if there is any other way to fix this?

Answer 1

I do not have any problem while using IE's XML parser
for XML+XSLT merging.That is because IE's parser does not implement XML correctly.
But when I use JAXP's Transformer object, it does not
preserve the new lines inside attribute values and
converts those into white spaces.That is exactly what the XML specifications say should happen.

----an attribute.
That would be my last solution. But I'd really hate
to change my logic just 'coz JAXP is not capable of
handling new lines inside attribute values. I may be
wrong... but If IE can keep those then there has to
be a way to do the same from server side merging....Sure. Write your own parser with the same bug in it. But you don't have any right to demand that other people supply you with parsers that work incorrectly.
