Hi Jonathan, hi Patrick,
The new serialization parameter 'indent-attributes' is already available [1]:
(: provided globally :)
declare option output:indent 'yes';
declare option output:indent-attributes 'yes';
<e a='a' b='b' c='c'/>
(: provided locally :)
serialize(
<e a='a' b='b' c='c'/>,
map {
'indent-attributes': true(),
'indent': true()
}
)
Result:
<e a="a"
b="b"
c="c"/>
Thank you to Gunther Rademacher, who contributed the code solution!
A new stable snapshot is available [2]. The serialization parameter
may officially be supported with XQuery 4 [3].
Hope this helps,
Christian
