internal data structure of xml files in mkiv

internal data structure of xml files in mkiv

[Peter Rolf]

Hi,

just wondering. What is the meaning of the separating strings
(\13\ ...) between elements? First I thought they were introduced by 
table.serialize. But trying to index elements showed that they are part 
of the format.

t={
  ["at"]={},
  ["dt"]={
   {
    ["dt"]={"xmlversion=\"1.0\"encoding=\"UTF-8\""},
    ["ns"]="",
    ["special"]=true,
    ["tg"]="@pi@",
   },
   "\13\      <---
\13\         <---
",
   {
    ...


Peter

At a guess, I would assume that that is the textual content of the
top-level, that just happens to be only whitespace (backslash + 13
+ backslash + <nl> == CRLF).

It is useful to retain that, for instance when you want to round-trip
an XML file after some adjustments.

Best wishes,
Taco
