Adrian: Thanks for the code. The output is now correct. Am I using lxml
incorrectly, or is it some issue with its HTML parser? Can I do without
using an extra package (Path.pathlib)?
Charlie Clark : The output from "et.tostring()" has " " added before
each carriage return (which is 0D0A since I'm working on Windows). I
don't know if it's the parser or tostring() that's causing that problem.
parser = et.HTMLParser(remove_blank_text=True,strip_cdata=False)
tree = et.parse(f,parser)
root = tree.getroot()
et.dump(root)

In the absolute, it doesn't matter since it won't affect how HTML is
displayed in the browser, but I'd rather not have those extra strings
added by lxml.

Hi,
Your issue seems to be about the loading of your XML data and not the
outputting of it.
Try:
from lxml import etree as et
parser = et.HTMLParser(remove_blank_text=True,strip_cdata=False)
parser = et.HTMLParser(remove_blank_text=True)
parser = et.HTMLParser()
from pathlib import Path
with Path('myxml.xml').open() as f:
tree = et.parse(f, parser=parser)
root = tree.getroot()
print(et.tostring(root, pretty_print=True))
