XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Elliotte Harold <elharo AT ibiblio.org>]

1. Please send replies to the xom-interest mailing list.

2. The JavaDoc says:

breakLine

protected final void breakLine()
                        throws IOException

    Writes the current line break string onto the underlying output
stream and indents as specified by the current level and the indent
property.

    Throws:
        IOException - if the underlying output stream encounters an I/O error

I'm not sure what else you want. This method is meant for custom
serializers subclassing nu.xom.Serializer to use. No one else should
need it. That's why it's protected.
