I noticed this too - the revXMLText function does not put any end of line delimiters between tags, though of course it preserves them with in node contents.

For simple cases (and I think this would cover the case given),

put revXMLText(treeID) into theXML
replace "><" with ">" & cr & "<" in theXML

will work.

On my current project, I found it easier (and quicker in execution) to generate the XML in my own code, rather than using the library, though I still use the library for reading it back in.

I always use extra line breaks in my XML docs and .XHTML docs... for readability.

But, if you create an XML Tree from one of these, transform some data in a node and then

put revXMLText(tCurrTree) into tNewFile

to get that data back out, Rev's XML libraries have wiped out all the cr's.

What is interesting is that double cr's are preserved, singles are not

e.g

<node1>Revolutionaries</node1>
<node2>will make a better future</node2>
<here_is_why>

A brilliant rev advocacy essay

with many paragraphs

</here_is_why>

get returned as:

<node1>Revolutionaries</node1><node2>will make a better future</node2><here_is_why>

A brilliant rev advocacy essay

with many paragraphs

</here_is_why>

Is there a way to preserve the single cr's in the original? Otherwise I have to a) live with it b) open them in BBEdit and run a format function to get them back to a readable state--each child node on it's own line...

TIA
