The output of xml.MarshalIndent always starts with a newline character when the prefix
or indent parameters are non-empty. This results for example in an empty line between
the header and the rest of the xml document when used together with xml.Header.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
package main
import (
"encoding/xml"
"fmt"
)
func main() {
d, _ := xml.MarshalIndent("test", "", "\t")
fmt.Printf("%#v\n", string(d))
}
What is the expected output?
"<string>test</string>"
What do you see instead?
"\n<string>test</string>"
Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)?
