XOM API for Processing XML with Java

Hi all,

sorry for getting back quite late:

Understood. But when people end up using DOM (or javax.xml.Transformer
like me) for indenting, maybe something with the behavior is not
perfect.

So you asked for a test, here it is (hope that's the right for to
submit it):

(just add this test to "nu.xom.tests.SerializerTest")

public void testAttributeWithIndenting() throws IOException {

root.addAttribute(new Attribute("Name", "Hello    Name"));
root.appendChild(new Element("sameline"));
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Serializer serializer = new Serializer(out, "UTF-8");
serializer.setIndent(4);
serializer.write(doc);
String result = out.toString("UTF-8");
assertEquals("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\r\n"
+ "<root Name=\"Hello    Name\">\r\n"
+ "    <sameline/>\r\n"
+ "</root>\r\n", result);
}

Regards,
Jens
