Re: Using the indent method

[dj]

Hello All,

I am using elementtree to write an XML document and I am having a hard
time adding the correct indentation.
I have tried using the indent method, but I can not figure out how to
use it. Any suggestions.

Using the version of indent() found on

http://effbot.org/zone/element-lib.htm:

>>from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
>>x='<a><b /><c /><d>stuff</d><e><f /></e></a>'
>>e=ET.fromstri ng(x)
>>ET.dump(e)

<a><b /><c /><d>stuff</d><e><f /></e></a>

>>indent(e)
>>ET.dump(e)

<a>
<b />
<c />
<d>stuff</d>
<e>
<f />
</e>
</a>
