PrettyPrinter removes newlines

[scabug]

=== What steps will reproduce the problem (please be specific and

scala> <foo>{PCData("hello\nworld")}</foo>
res51: scala.xml.Elem =
<foo><![CDATA[hello
world]]></foo>

scala> (new PrettyPrinter(Int.MaxValue, 2)).format(res51)
res52: String = <foo><![CDATA[hello world]]></foo>

=== What is the expected behavior? ===
Should print "hello\nworld"

scala> (new PrettyPrinter(Int.MaxValue, 2)).format(res51)
res52: String = <foo><![CDATA[hello\nworld]]></foo>

prints "hello world"

Strangely, if you do new xml.PrettyPrinter(Int.MaxValue, 2).format(xml.PCData("hello\nworld")) the newline is there, only if you surround the PCData with XML Nodes the newline gets lost. The problem is still there in 2.9.2.

Problem still in 2.10.4 also.

From a quick glimpse of the code. Looks like it treates all Atom subtypes similarly. It has to special case PCData and treat it specially and just output it without concern for indentation/box, etc.

The scala-xml library is now community-maintained. Issues with it are now tracked at https://github.com/scala/scala-xml/issues instead of here in the Scala JIRA.

Interested community members: if you consider this issue significant, feel free to open a new issue for it on GitHub, with links in both directions.
