If you extract all these whitespaces from the original personal.xml, or test run it with ProjectX (which does not add these whitespaces), you will get the pretty printing you expect to. arkin Wong Kok Wai wrote: > > Hi, > > Ref: Xerces 1.0.1 > > I've tried out the new org.apache.xml.serialize package and find that > the pretty printing is not as "pretty" as I've expected.
