DOMWriter: "pretty printing" problems
Hi,
after making sure that the DOMWriter supports the pretty
printing feature (via canSetFeature()), I have set the
feature for the DOMWriter object.
And indeed, the preamble changes from
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?><!DOCTYPE Report SYSTEM "report.dtd">
to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE Report SYSTEM "report.dtd">
However, all following text is still written in one line:
<Report><Abc><Def>foo</Def><Ghi>bar</Ghi></Abc></Report>
instead of something like:
<Report>
<Abc>
<Def>foo</Def>
<Ghi>bar</Ghi>
</Abc>
</Report>
Am I missing something?
Environment: 32-bit binary distribution of xerces-c 2.0.0 for AIX.
Kind regards
Ingolf

Does that imply that, if one wants real pretty print, white space has to
added to the DOM tree (as #text nodes) if the tree was created in Memory
rather than built from parsing a pretty printed file? Quite cumbersome I
would say. Would it be an idea to tell DOMWriter to do this by calling a
single member function?

Is there any help provided by the library to pre-format
the tree before serializing it?

I think the "pretty print" in DOMWriter only pretty print anything before
and after the root element. The content inside the root element, the
DOMWriter just prints as is. Since the content model of the root element
may allow mixed content, or may already have TEXT nodes that contain
ignorable whitespace. The DOMWriter decided not to touch anything inside
the root element and print them as is. Since DOM L3 spec does not
specified the behaviour of "pretty print" in details, so we design such
feature to only pretty print the prolog and epilog.

RE: DOMWriter: "pretty printing" problems
Posted by Scot Nielsen <sc...@yahoo.co.uk>.
If you are, I'm missing the same thing on Win32 platforms also...
I thought I had this working once but realised the file I'd read and then
serialized again was already nicely formatted. I've also played around with
CR - LF options but didn't seem to get anywhere with those either.
