bug#36657: All CRLF XML files are not recognized as CRLF, so flood with ^M's

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

Gentlemen, it's terrible.

All CRLF XML files will end up looking like this in your buffer,

$ cat -v l.gpx
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>^M
<a></a>^M

See those ^M's?
That's because that
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
line causes emacs to screw up recognizing
the CRLFs! See (info "(emacs) Coding Systems").
emacs-version "26.1"

See also bug#20623.

OK I tried it on a CRLF file like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<a></a>

So it is indeed the UTF-8 it is unhappy about.

Workaround:
Don't use UTF-8, use plain ASCII when using XML in emacs. Great.

Actually UTF-8 is the default for XML, not ASCII.

Also please test when there is no CRLF at all on the final line.

This looks like a duplicate of bug#34704[1], which was fixed in Emacs
26.2.  Can you confirm that it works for you in 26.2?

That bug is also marked as fixed in Emacs 26.2.

Indeed, this has been fixed already.  Closing.
