Node.String()/Node.ToString indentation not working as expected

[whitlockjc]

I am trying to use Node.String() (or Node.ToString()) to generate a properly indented XML representation of the XML. No matter what I do, when using those methods I end up with each line being prepended with 4 spaces. Here is an example:

Expected

<character id="Snuffy">
  <name>Snuffy Smith</name>
  <born>1934-01-01</born>
  <qualification>volatile and diminutive moonshiner, ornery little cuss, sawed-off and shiftless</qualification>
</character>

Actual

<character id="Snuffy">
      <name>Snuffy Smith</name>
      <born>1934-01-01</born>
      <qualification>volatile and diminutive moonshiner, ornery little cuss, sawed-off and shiftless</qualification>
    </character>

I have tried passing options to Node.ToString() but I always end up with the same output. (Both node.String() and node.ToString(1, true) produce the same result above.) Before I implement some hack, I figured I'd at least reach out to make sure I'm not overlooking something.

@whitlockjc thanks for your reports, but I don't have much time and motivation to spend on this project right now. I may come back later, but I just can't promise you prompt response as of now. If you need to have things fixed, please consider submitting pull requests.

By the way, the parser.XMLParseNoBlanks parser option seems to have fixed this.
