Not really tighter, just different. Whitespace characters in attribute
values are all converted to spaces -- unless they are escaped. So the
correct way to escape filewitha\ttab would be filewitha#9tab. Just
embedding the tab in there directly will not work.
Unfortunately, expat doesn't seem to agree with you on that. :-( Using
the working copy from the recipe attached to the issue, I modified my
entries file to have:
entry
name=here is a tab#9file
kind=file
schedule=add/
And I get the same error I got when #9 was a real tab.
I'm in no position to dispute your XML knowledge. Just saying that as
a quickie solution, that doesn't seem to do the job for me.
