Pretty-prints an XML document. This destroys whitespace in text nodes and will insert carriage returns and indentations.
TODO: Add an option to print attributes on new lines
Create a new pretty printer.
output |
An object implementing ‘<<(String)’, to which the output will be written. |
indentation |
An integer greater than 0. The indentation of each level will be this number of spaces. If this is < 1, the behavior of this object is undefined. Defaults to 2. |
ie_hack |
If true, the printer will insert whitespace before closing empty tags, thereby allowing Internet Explorer’s feeble XML parser to function. Defaults to false. |

# itself, then we don't need a carriage return... which makes this
