<?php
$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml->loadXML('
<a>
<b>test</b>
</a>
');

$temp = $xml->createElement('b');
$temp->appendChild($xml->createTextNode('test'));
$xml->firstChild->appendChild($temp);

echo '<pre>';
echo htmlspecialchars($xml->saveXML());
echo '</pre>';

?>

I'd like for this to be able to return this:

<a>
<b>test</b>
<b>test</b>
</a>

Instead, it produces this:

<a>
<b>test</b>
<b>test</b></a>

ie. the indentation convention that I'm using isn't being used by
saveXML(). Setting $xml->preserveWhiteSpace and $xml->formatOutput to
true doesn't seem to help.

Any ideas as to what - if anything - I can do?
