Another simple question.
I am parsing a formatted xml data file (by "formatted" I mean nicely
indented etc).
If I change an element value and then save the file back out using
xmlSaveFormatFile(filename, doc, 1)
It looks the same as the original.
But if I add a child, for example, and use the same
xmlSaveFormatFile, the added child is correct but not formatted at
all (no indents, no returns).
It's not clear to me from the documentation if the "1" argument in
xmlSaveFormatFile is supposed to format it like I expect or not. [as
per the docs I did call xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0) before the Save call;
no change]
Do I need to switch over to the xmlTextWriter API, and stop using
xmlSaveFormatFile, to make the file look "correct" when saved back
out?
Reason for pursuing this is because the xml data files are small and
may very well be hand edited on occasion before being parsed again. I
want them to "look nice" and be easy to edit if the parsing code has
added a child in the interim.
