Duncan, like what happens with Milan, when I print to the console both the accents and the indents come through correctly. However, when I save to a file, the indents disappear:
# when saved to a file the indents disappear > saveXML(doc, file = "test.xml", encoding = "UTF-8") # contents of text.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <tips><tip id="1"><h1>español</h1><p>info about español</p></tip><tip id="2"><h1>português</h1><p>info about português</p></tip></tips> # correctly prints to console > saveXML(doc, encoding = "UTF-8") [1] "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<tips>\n <tip id=\"1\">\n <h1>español</h1>\n <p>info about español</p>\n </tip>\n <tip id=\"2\">\n <h1>português</h1>\n <p>info about português</p>\n </tip>\n</tips>\n" Here's the info you requested: > libxmlVersion() $major [1] "2" $minor [1] "07" $patch [1] "03" > sessionInfo() R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit) locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] XML_3.95-0.2 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_3.0.2 Thanks for the help.

Can you send me the output of the function call libxmlVersion() and also sessionInfo(), please? D. On 10/18/13 10:27 AM, Earl Brown wrote: > Thanks Duncan.
