No XML serializers that I know of give you this much control over the
output. The Saxon serializer (which you could invoke to serialize the JDOM)
will put long attributes on separate lines, but using its own algorithm, not
yours. If you really want control at this level, you probably have to write
your own serializer.

Putting a newline as part of the attribute name is clearly doomed - you're
lucky it got stripped off rather than being rejected as an invalid name
character.

Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] [jdom-interest] Newlines between attributes

I'm using JDOM and like it very much for its ease of use.

I'm now using JDOM to create a series of XML files where the attribute
values are long strings. As a result, after 2-3 of them, the element
definition is very long. I know how to insert text objects between objects
to force line breaks, but what I have been so far unable to do is to specify
line breaks at known places between attributes in an element.

Is there a way to do this? Does it have to be done in a post-processing
task?

I tried doing:

dmodule.setAttribute( "\nnoNamespaceSchemaLocation",

"procedSchema.xsd", ns );

...but JDOM removed the leading NL character from the attribute name.
