Usage Syntax

oMXXMLWriter.indent = boolValue
boolValue = oMXXMLWriter.indent

Remarks

Boolean. Read/write. The default is False. The general rules of indenting elements are: XML headers and root elements start on a new line with a zero indent; element content, including leading and trailing white spaces, is not changed in any way.

Example

The following example parses books.xml and indents the output.

Dim rdr As New Msxml2.SAXXMLReader50
Dim cnth As IVBSAXContentHandler
Dim wrt As New MXXMLWriter50
wrt.indent = True
wrt.standalone = True
Set cnth = wrt
Set rdr.contentHandler = cnth
rdr.parseURL ("books.xml")
MsgBox wrt.output

Results

The following shows the beginning of the books.xml output with the elements indented for "pretty printing".

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" standalone="yes"?>
