Re: [xml] Newline at the end of output

[James Hart <beeblebrox42 gmail com>]

Just a follow up, since there is an XML_SAVE_NO_EMPTY option I tried that but it still prints out even this empty element in the case of xmlSaveDoc.  Seems like it was going to be a better workaround for me but it doesn't work.  I still sometimes need to print out the prolog but xmlSaveTree will not ever add the deceleration.

Martin,

  Exactly the answer I needed.  The xmlSaveTree works great.

For your case, rather than doing:

Instead do:

xmlSaveTree(saveCtxt, xmlDocGetRootElement(doc_));

Just hacking off the trailing newline is the method that's been used
when needed in the past, see for instance:
