Pretty printing is hard! I've tried a bunch of things over the years, but the if
you want to do it by hand you either have to be DTD/Schema aware so that you can
skip the textual content of elements who's xml:space is strictly interpreted by
clients as "preserve" or else use some kind of hard-coded list.

Another option is to use HTML Tidy, which also works with XML.

Check out the new-pre-tags option which will do what you want:

Hope this helps,
