Hello Rob,
at this time the XMl writer consider the "content" element as simple
text in any case (in the most general case, it can contain both text and
XML elements) without taking care of formatting options.
However, it is possible to use formatting in the special case of XML
content. I've entered a new issue for that:

Best regards,
