pc:indent

note

This article is about the pc:indent Blend directive.

pc:indent​

Produces "tidy XML": applies indentation to your output XML document so that the structure of nested elements is clearly visible, and replaces a sequence of opening and closing tags for an element by a single empty-element tag if the element has no content.

  • This attribute is effective only if it is applied to the document element, i.e., the top-level element of your USoft Blend script.
  • This attribute is effective only if pc:ignorewhitespace="yes" is set for the document element.
  • You can determine the content and length of the indentation by setting pc:indentchars.

Syntax

<*element* pc:ignorewhitespace="yes" pc:indent="yes"

*content*

</*element*>

Example

<example xmlns:pc="Processing.Command" pc:ignorewhitespace="yes" pc:indent="yes" >
<object>
      <height><unknown/></height>
<width></width>
   </object>
</example>

The effect of running this example as a USoft Blend script is:

<example>
  <object>
    <height>
      <unknown/>
    </height>
    <width/>
  </object>
</example>
