Pretty make it pretty by putting in newlines (and spaces) that are not
in the original data. That is, if you have text "John Smith"
associated with the element <name> then pretty gives you something like
<name>
John Smith
</name>
here with an extra two newlines and some whitespace indentation. (I
don't recall 100% when it puts in stuff, but the point of pretty is to
put in extra stuff.) You need to strip out the extra stuff (or print
it out not pretty; can you get a viewer that buffs-up a notbuff file so
you are seeing pretty but the data isn't actually pretty?).
