add the text nodes you want/need for formatting.
Libxml2 detected there was already text nodes as sibling of your new node
so it's a mixed content parent, and it won't create indentation nodes as 
a result.
Other option is to remove all the existing indentation nodes in
the document, in that case libxml2 automatic formatting may work.
