I would prefer to see this improvement as an option, rather than the default, because I believe that 'Issue4147' satisfies "pretty printing" better. While leaving out whitespace from text-only elements is benefical for compatibility and roundtripping, there are certain situation where it hurts the prettyness of the xml really hard, an example: <root> <element1> TextNode1 <childnode2 /> <childnode3 /> TextNode4 </element1> <element2>TextNode</element2> </root> vs. <root> <element1>TextNode1<childnode2 /> <childnode3 />TextNode4</element1> <element2>TextNode</element2> </root> ---------- nosy: +Dávid.Gábor.Bodor _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1777134> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
