XtextResource.save() containing strings with carriage return [message #1396601]

Hi,

i'm trying something quite simple, but face a problem using xtext resource.

i've got a very simple dsl :

'begin' content=STRING

in the editor, i can write:

begin "hello
world"

without problem.

now i want to create the same file contents using only the API.
I create an XtextResource with a content set to "hello\nworld".
when i save this resource, and open it using an editor, i get:

begin "hello\nworld"

is there an option i missed to not serialize the \n but the real carriage return char ?

Thanks,

hmm looks like you need to customize STRINGValueConverter
