Comment:
Yes there is still interest!
I've stumbled across this importing a hand-rolled minimal XML file in
2.8.4, in my case the <item> nodes were in separate lines, but no other
line breaks existed - hence the import failed eg
{{{
<item><category><![CDATA[surfaces]]></category><category domain="category"
nicename="surfaces"><![CDATA[surfaces]]></category><title>Stainless Steel
Surface (236 x 114cm) -1</title><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img href="wp-
content/uploads/old/surfaces/IMG_6324.jpg" /><span>Stainless Steele
Surface (236 x 114cm) <i>$80</i></span>]]></content:encoded></item>
}}}
FAIL
{{{
<item>
<category><![CDATA[surfaces]]></category>
<category domain="category"
nicename="surfaces"><![CDATA[surfaces]]></category>
<title>Grey Laminate Surface with stainless steel sides (246 x
60cm)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img href="wp-
content/uploads/old/surfaces/IMG_6326.jpg" /><span>Grey Laminate
Surfacewith stainless steele sides (246 x 60cm)
<i>$80</i></span>]]></content:encoded>
</item>
}}}
PASS
You can imagine how surprised I was at having to worry about whitespace in
an XML file.
Does the patch listed above cover this example?
