There isnt an 'easy' way that I know of.
The reason your docuements are indented nicely is because your XML editor did
so, and the indentation (newlines, spaces etc) are already in the file.
You can create such spaces yourself very carefully ... and by making sure the
right XQuery options are in set, such as
declare boundary-space preserve;
Otherwise even your best attempts will fail ... but that won't *add
indentation* ...
Example:
declare boundary-space strip;
let $x :=
<foo>
<bar>
<spam> {"a ccc xx"}</spam></bar></foo>
return xdmp:document-insert("/test.xml",$x)
---- Now see what the doc looks like with some xml agnostic code ...
This will fool most processors even QC:
xdmp:quote(doc("/test.xml"))
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<foo><bar><spam>a ccc xx</spam></bar></foo>
Spaces gone ... boo hoo
now add
declare boundary-space strip;
and retest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<foo>
<bar>
<spam> a ccc xx</spam></bar></foo
Better !
But still you had to put the spaces in the first place.
To actually get XML "pretty printed" automatically ... you can do a round-trip
through xquery or xslt to take advantage of the output indenting formatter (UG
!)
There is one other way I know of -- If you have a schema in-scope then the
document is indented on insert
Example: I happen to be working on a twitter dump where I have a schema ... The
indentation isnt perfect but without a schema
its pretty much impossible to tell what kinds of whitespace are allowed to be
inserted (that's why ML doesn't do it ...
it can break your data !)
With a schema in scope ... ML indents ...
you can tell with xdmp:quote() or by getting the file out in text mode
let $x :=
<twitter xmlns="http://www.xmlsh.org/schemas/twitter";><status
id="298616637173686273"><user created-at="2011-02-04T23:44:43"
description="" lang="en" name="Martens VW"
screen-name="martens_vw"><location/></user></status>
</twitter>
return ( xdmp:document-insert("/test.xml",$x))
This proces (with my schema in place)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<twitter xmlns="http://www.xmlsh.org/schemas/twitter";>
<status id="298616637173686273">
<user created-at="2011-02-04T23:44:43" description="" lang="en"
name="Martens VW" screen-name="martens_vw">
<location/>
</user>
</status>
</twitter>

Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] xdmp:output serialization options not
working?
Let me restate the problem.
If I use an editor to manually create this XML document and save it to
MarkLogic via WebDav or other means:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<doc>
<line>line 1</line>
<line>line2</line>
</doc>
then when I subsequently open that document from the database via WebDav or a
doc() call, it arrives with its indentation preserved. I want to know how to
generate a new file via XQuery such that it will have indentation when
subsquently opened via WebDav or a doc() call.
(It's not mission-critical, but I'm auto-generating a 50MB data file that I
would like to be able to open in oXygen via WebDav with its elements already
indented, since thing go much faster that way.)
