Description Mike Hommey 2004-04-28 05:50:29 UTC 
This is a bug report I got on the Debian BTS. ( http://bugs.debian.org/246181 )

The following small XML file (not valid to save space) produces badly
formatted output when run through "xmllint --format": There is a line break in
front of the "</abbr>". It used to work fine until about a month ago, and at
the same time setting "indent=yes" in an XSLT stylesheet started showing a
similar problem when run though xsltproc. Therefore I think it is an error in
libxml2.

If you remove the DOCTYPE declaration, the output is fine. Maybe this helps in
tracking the error. (Yes, it also happens if the file is actually valid.)

I have the same problem. It started with libxml 2.6.8. Version 2.6.7 works fine.

This patch works for me.

Okay, the patches makes sense, it really fix a bug introduced when
creating the xmlsave module, applied and I added the test to the
regression suite, this is now in CVS.

  thanks a lot,

Daniel

This should be closed in libxml2-2.6.11,
                                                                                
  thanks,
