Hi,

I was trying the IBM XML parser to create XML documents in my
application.

I like to know how to format the XML document properly with indentations
(tabs) for better readability.

For e.g when I create an Element A and A is having a child 
element B  and when I write the document in a file using document.print(java.io.Writer) I am getting 

<A><B>xxx</B></A>

Instead of a format like this I want to get something like

<A>
    <B>xxx</B>
</A>

I tried method printWithFormat also. It is also not creating in a format
in which I expect.    Anybody knows solution for this or whether any other 
parser does formatting.

Any suggestion will be useful.   Thanks for the time.
