Fwd: Formatting XML generated by Scala?

Hi. I'm still reasonably new to Scala. The Scala I'm writing is to
generate XML

I like Scala for working with XML, but a problem to date is that I haven't
found a way to format the XML neatly when I save it to a file (using
scala.xml.XML.saveFull in 2.7.5.final). The XML generated by Scala has
inconsistent whitespace. When the XML is opened in an XML editor, the
tags are all over the place. While the XML is technically OK for
processing, the lack of formatting makes it too unprofessional to deliver
to clients. I need to be able to format the XML

* with indents and linebreaks, i.e. "pretty printed" as XML editors
like
oXygen and XML Spy do when you press the "indent" button;
* all in a single line with no extraneous whitespace (minimum size,
for
processing)

and would like to be able to do this, if possible, without have to write
the files out first and then format them in a separate step. Is this
facility available now, perhaps via a library in sbaz? (I haven't worked
out yet how to search it yet.) I want to find out whether something
already exists, or whether I need to try to put aside some time to write
something. Thanks very much in advance for any help or guidance,

Cheers, Tony.

PS Is there a way to search the archives of this list? It wasn't obvious
from the "subscribe" page. Thanks!

you could try scala.xml.PrettyPrinter, like

new PrettyPrinter(80, 2).format([your XML])

Ah, cool, thanks! Right under my nose, as these things so often are.
:-) Thanks, Cheers, Tony.
