Maybe you have misinterpreted the docs...
Try that one:

xmlTextWriterSetIndent(m_writer, 1);
xmlTextWriterSetIndentString(m_writer, "  
 ");

The first one tells you to enable indention, the second
one supplies the indention string (4 spaces here).
This should solve your problem when using the xmlTextWriter
API...

It would also be nice to have this possibilities if
one is not using xmlTextWriterAPI. Like
xmlDocDumpFormatMemory() 
xmlDocDumpFormatMemoryEnc() 
xmlDocFormatDump() 
xmlSaveFormatFile() 
xmlSaveFormatFileEnc() 

There these possibilities are missing, at present
I am running into a similar problem with these functions
which I have outlined here on friday:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2005-March/msg00160.html

At present I have no solution for my problem... 
I would also like to have these possibilities when
using a given xmlDoc.
Has anyone a solution for this?

Thanks,

Roland
