Hi, Using org.basex.io.serial.Serializer to serialize nodes from a DB, I want to be able to prevent formatting/indentation of specific nodes. For example:
<body> <pre><b>test</b></pre> </body>
When serializing something like that, the output will be:
<body> <pre> <b>test</b></pre> </body>
The desired output would be:
<body> <pre><b>test</b></pre> </body>
I.e. the pre elements must not be indented.
I only found this parameter for the serializer
cdata-section-elements
Which I guess would enclose the contents of the pre elements by CDATA:
<body> <pre><![CDATA[<b>test</b>]]></pre> </body>
Which would not be the desired output.
Thanks!
Hi Erdal,
the "indent" serialization parameter should help you:

Thanks, Christian! That parameter tells the serializer to "globally" (per serialization) turn indentation on/off, no? I would need to indent all elements in general but ignore indentation for specific elements. Is that covered by the indent parameter (it only accepts yes/no as value)?
Thanks.

Yes, this parameter is global. As far as I know, there is no option to locally control indentation, so you could use XQuery to build the desired XML representation which you can then serialize.
