PrettyPrinter removes newlines

[mbeckerle]

Migrated from https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-4543.

There is discussion there that is not reproduced here.

Original description is:

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>

What do you see instead?
prints "hello world"

What versions of the following are you using?
Scala: 2.8.1

Any news on that issue?

I've never looked in to the issue, myself. Did you run in to this problem or similar?

Yesterday I stumbled across this issue. Now I'm using .toString which produces now correct XML, but the XML is now quite ugly.

Any news on this issue? It's still happening in Scala 2.13.12 and it also converts multiple spaces into 1 space.

I was hoping for this to work too.
