Pretty Printing when saving a xml

[wbiker]

Hi, first thank you for the module.

I use it to dynamical update my Visual Studio project file and it works great. One think I think could be improved. After saving the project file the xml is all in one line. It does not be a problem, but in git and if you look at the file with a editor it is not very readable.

it is possible to implement a pretty printing parameter which adds new lines to the xml string when saving it?

Thanks

I am not actively working on my Perl 6 modules at the moment, but I don't think it would be too difficult to add some form of pretty printing option when serializing. It's been a while since I looked at the code though, so I'm not sure exactly what it would entail. If I have a chance in the near future, I will take a look and see if I can add something.

Cool thanks. I would do it by myself but my perl6 foo is not great.

I tried to alter save function in order to write in pretty print. Though I stumbled upon one challenge.
I see that when loading a file with indentations, the format is preserved when saving as another file. But if I add elements, these are not indented. I would prefer that when loading, all indentation would be discarded altogether, or at least have an option for doing so. Writing back to file with pretty print, would then be a bit easier i think.
