How do I format the structure of xml

from:  
\<root\>\<news\>\<title\>title text\</title\>\<body\>body text\</body\>\</news\>\</root\>

to:  
\<root\>  
\<news\>  
\<title\>title text\</title\>  
\<body\>body text\</body\>  
\</news\>  
\</root\>

//code  
var news\_xml:XML = new XML();  
news\_xml.ignoreWhite = true;  
AddNewsEntry();  
//  
function AddNewsEntry() {  
var newsRoot:XMLNode = news\_xml.createElement(“root”);  
var newsNode:XMLNode = news\_xml.createElement(“news”);  
var titleNode:XMLNode = news\_xml.createElement(“title”);  
var bodyNode:XMLNode = news\_xml.createElement(“body”);  
var titleText:XMLNode = news\_xml.createTextNode(“title text”);  
var bodyText:XMLNode = news\_xml.createTextNode(“body text”);  
//  
news\_xml.appendChild(newsRoot);  
newsNode.appendChild(titleNode);  
newsNode.appendChild(bodyNode);  
newsRoot.appendChild(newsNode);  
titleNode.appendChild(titleText);  
bodyNode.appendChild(bodyText);  
}  
//
