LF CR handling

[Jimmy Zhang]

I was reading XML 1.0 spec and it appears to me that there is no mention in the spec itself that CR must be removed so that LF is the only thing used to signal the end of line (unix convention) but I was reading another book the other day, which said otherwise.

Can someone help?

There is: section 2.11. CR, CR-LF and LF all result in LF being passed to the application. In XML 1.1, NEL and LSEP are also translated.

so CR --> LF

CRLF --> LF

and LF --> LF?

What about LFCR --> LFLF??

CR CR CR --> LF LF LF?
or

CRCRCR --> LF??
