preserve vertical white space in XML?

[Mark Smith]

I noticed this too - the revXMLText function does not put any end of 
line delimiters between tags, though of course it preserves them with 
in node contents.

For simple cases (and I think this would cover the case given),

put revXMLText(treeID) into theXML
replace "><" with ">" & cr & "<" in theXML

will work.

On my current project, I found it easier (and quicker in execution) to 
generate the XML in my own code, rather than using the library, though 
I still use the library for reading it back in.
