Quoting Nunez Steve (<a ymailto="mailto:steve_nunez@yahoo.com" href="mailto:steve_nunez@yahoo.com">steve_nunez@yahoo.com</a>):<br>> A follow-up question: Is there a way to emit a newline into the file?<br>> It would help in readability of some parts.<br><br>Unless the sink is in canonical mode (and canonical isn't the default<br>anymore in current cxml), newline characters in text are written<br>literally, so just write text including a newline. Example:<br><br>CL-USER> (cxml:with-xml-output (cxml:make-string-sink)<br> (cxml:with-element "test"<br> (cxml:text (format nil "foo~%bar"))))<br>"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><br><test>foo<br>bar</test>"<br><br><br>That's for manual breaks. If you were hoping for automatic indentation,<br>there's the :INDENTATION keyword argument:<br><br>CL-USER> (cxml:with-xml-output (cxml:make-string-sink :indentation 2)<br> (cxml:with-element
"outer"<br> (cxml:with-element "inner"<br> (cxml:text (format nil "foo~%bar")))))<br>"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><br><outer><br> <inner><br> foo bar</inner><br></outer>"<br><br>The indentation support isn't very good though. I use it only for<br>debugging purposes. Also note that it reindents texts, removing the<br>explicit newline.<br><br><br>d.<br></div></div><div style="position:fixed"></div></div><br>
