ISSUE-87: Should spec require whitespace normalization of attribute values, particularly in title attribute?
attr-normalization
Should spec require whitespace normalization of attribute values, particularly in title attribute?
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- HTML 5 spec
- Raised by:
- Michael[tm] Smith
- Opened on:
- 2009-10-26
- Description:
- quoting David Carlisle:
"In HTML4's SGML parsing, or XML parsing, literal newlines would be normalised to space characters, explicitly... In order to get a newline into the attribute value you need to use a character reference such as
<abbr title="Hypertext Transport Protocol">HTTP</abbr>
It would help future parallel authoring of HTML and X((HT)ML if the attribute
value white space normalisation happened in both serialisations."
