[Pharo-users] XML Writer not pretty printing

[Peter Uhnak]

Hi,

I am trying to output a pretty printed document, but it seems that the
configuration is being ignored

doc := '<root>
<tab/>
  <twoSpaces/>
    <fourSpaces/>
</root>' parseXML.

String << [ :stream |
doc
printOn: stream
beforeWritingDo: [ :writer |
writer
enablePrettyPrinting;
enablePlatformSpecificLineBreak.
writer formatter indentString: '  '. ] ]


produces

 "'<root>
<tab/>
  <twoSpaces/>
    <fourSpaces/>
</root>'"

I thought that maybe #preservesIgnorableWhitespace: has something to do
with it, but whether it is true or false, the output is not pretty printed
(not to mention, that pretty printing should ignore any preserved
whitespaces anyway).

Is this a bug? Should I print it in a different way?

Thanks,
Peter
