Which version of lxml and Python are you using?

Here it is:

https://we.tl/t-WowFCDBp5A

Python 3.8.8, lxml 4.6.3.0

But, if all you want is pretty printing then I recommend simply using 
the command line tool |tidy|.

I tried it before asking, but tidy fails with a few errors I don't 
understand. Here's the output from a full file (not the sample I uploaded):

line 9 column 1 - Error: unexpected </head> in <meta>
line 68 column 87 - Error: unexpected </li> in <br>
line 73 column 1 - Error: unexpected </ol> in <br>
line 108 column 1 - Error: unexpected </body> in <br>
line 110 column 1 - Error: unexpected </html> in <br>
Tidy found 0 warnings and 5 errors!

    <meta name="generator" content="Namo WebEditor v4.0">
</head>

…

<li>blah:<br>&lt;?php<br>phpinfo();<br>?&gt;</li>

…

Is it bad practice to include <br> outside plain <p>…</p>?

Regardless, the origin of the problem is the unwanted addition of 
"&#13;" before each carriage return.
