Status changed from Open to Feedback Strictly speaking, the XML declaration doesn't contain any attributes, only things that look like attributes. They are sometimes called pseudo-attributes. So it is not unreasonable that doc.context[:attribute_quote] = :quote does not affect pseudo-attribute quoting. For attributes, the choice of quoting can affect the amount of escaping. But this doesn't apply to pseudo-attributes, as the 'values' in the pseudo-attributes don't contain quotes. Can you explain the specific reason you want double quotes in the XML declaration? ---------------------------------------- Bug #9367: REXML::XmlDecl doesn't use user specified quotes https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9367#change-44117 Author: bearmini (Takashi Oguma) Status: Feedback Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-linux] Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN =begin REXML uses double quotes for quoting attributes if :attribute_quote is specified as document's context like below: doc = REXML::Document.new doc.context[:attribute_quote] = :quote This looks working well on all elements but has no effect for xml declaration (i.e. ) if it exists.
