QStringList withing QDomText

[NoRulez]

I want to append a QDomText which is a QStringList to an existing QDomElement. Currently I use the following:

QDomText text = doc.createTextNode(strList.join("\n"));
element.appendChild(text);
element.setAttribute("size", strList.size());

QDomText text = doc.createTextNode(strList.join("\n"));
element.appendChild(text);
element.setAttribute("size", strList.size());

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

So for this example the output would be:

<node1>
  <data>
   <element size="4" >Article1
Article2
Article3
Article4</element>
  </data>
 </node1>

<node1>
  <data>
   <element size="4" >Article1
Article2
Article3
Article4</element>
  </data>
 </node1>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I want to make it better readable, so my question is how can i use these functions to produce:

<node1>
  <data>
   <element size="4" >
     Article1
     Article2
     Article3
     Article4
   </element>
  </data>
 </node1>

<node1>
  <data>
   <element size="4" >
     Article1
     Article2
     Article3
     Article4
   </element>
  </data>
 </node1>

Is there a beautifier within the QtXml which i couldn't found? I seem to remember that xerces will do so.
How can i do so with standard Qt tools?

what are you using to display the xml data ?? My guess is QListWidget..
QTextEdit is good for displaying xml.
Hint :

QString xmlString;
QTextStream stream(&xmlString);
myRootElement.save(stream,4);
 
QTextEdit::setPlainText(xmlString);

QString xmlString;
QTextStream stream(&xmlString);
myRootElement.save(stream,4);

QTextEdit::setPlainText(xmlString);

This code snippet doesn't work. The only thing what the snippet does is adding 4 spaces instead of 1 for every node.

I want to write the QStringList within QDomText so that when a user opens the xml file with his prefered editor he knows that this is a list of values.

Once more:
Currently this is written:

<element size="4" >Article1
Article2
Article3
Article4</element>

<element size="4" >Article1
Article2
Article3
Article4</element>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And this should be, but the question is how?

<element size="4" >
  Article1
  Article2
  Article3
  Article4
</element>

<element size="4" >
  Article1
  Article2
  Article3
  Article4
</element>

hmm,,, seems its more of spacing prob than i thought...
first u are using strList.join("\n"); u also need to prepend and append '\n' to it, right ?

still u wont get the efftect...bec after new line, you dont know how many spaces to leave..
do thats another function to calculate space for current node, relative to the root node.

hope u get the idea now..

anyhow I feel ther might better way to do what u are doing... cud u show some more code or snapshots ??

I saw this from various other xml files, so i can do the following:

<element size="4" >
        <string>Article1</string>
        <string>Article2</string>
        <string>Article3</string>
        <string>Article4</string>
      </element>

<element size="4" >
        <string>Article1</string>
        <string>Article2</string>
        <string>Article3</string>
        <string>Article4</string>
      </element>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but i think with the other way, a user can faster recognition that the content is a list.
How can i get the space for a current node?
