No, there is no whitespace... just <tag></tag>... Here is the code I am using... maybe someone can point out my error if I've made one...
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); OutputFormat format; if (compact) format = OutputFormat.createCompactFormat(); else format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint(); format.setExpandEmptyElements(false); XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter(sw, format); writer.write(doc); writer.close(); String docStr = sw.toString(); Thanks, Brian James Strachan wrote: >Just out of interest, there's no whitespace between the tags at all?
