Description Rob Richards 2004-02-23 13:30:02 UTC 
Line breaks in a CDATA section when using a push parser do not increment 
line count. A patch which seems to correct this can be found at 
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2003-December/msg00170.html

Using the following data, I was able to reproduce this with testSAX. I 
added the line numbers within the Debug callbacks. Run normally, the line 
numbers were correct. When ran with --push, the line numbers were wrong 
as the linebreaks within the CDATA were ignored.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data>
<![CDATA[
multi
line 
CDATA
block
]]>
<data>

With the patch the difference I see is that using push parser, the line 
count is not incremented until after the cdata callback, while it seems 
to be incremeneted before the callback otherwise.
