hi,

when sending a var to be writen down on a xml doc. (using php) how can i get it well with the linebreaks and tabs between each node?

**like this:**

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<xml>
	<setChar char="c" pos="0" />
	<setChar char="o" pos="1" />
	<setChar char="m" pos="2" />
</xml>

```

**insted of this:**

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?><xml><setChar char="c" pos="0" /><setChar char="o" pos="1" /><setChar char="m" pos="2" /></xml>

```
