[xsd-users] How to serialize character reference i.e. 

[Jack Reese]

Excellent - thanks Boris. Substituting "\r" in place of the character
constant 
 works perfectly for serialization.

However, when I now parse the resulting XML, the character constant 
seems to be dropped out and I'm just left with the string and no character
constant.

Is there something else I need to do in order to recover the carriage return
upon parsing?

Thanks again,
