If I use the loadString
method to load HTML containing a <br/>
tag, Scala's XML lib wants to convert that to the longer, and seemingly less standard <br></br>
(which unfortunately even seems to render differently than the plain-old <br/>
in some browsers).
I.e., the following...
val xml = scala.xml.XML.loadString("<body>Hi<br/>there.</body>")
xml.toString()
...yields...
<body>Hi<br></br>there.</body>
Is there a way to force Scala's XML lib to render the tag as a "singleton"?
