Thank you - I will try that. Yep - in memory. No real choice as some attributes and elements that must be set at the top I don't know until I have written the complete document.

If this is the case, you can use text to correctly format your text and use different output formats to change the way the output is written. <code>* Element data = new DefaultElement( "Data"); Element font = new DefaultElement( "Font"); font.add( new DefaultText( "hi there")); data.add( new DefaultText( " ")); data.add( font); data.add( new DefaultText( " ")); // Normal output. OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(); XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter( System.out, format); writer.write( data); // This should give you: // <Data> <Font>hi there</Font> </Data> // 'Pretty' output format.setNewLines( true); format.setIndent( " "); writer.write( data); // This should give you: // <Data> // <Font>hi there</Font> // </Data> </code> The writer should not add or remove information unless you tell it to.
