Hello Ying,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I guess it is indeed because of the text nodes. But is there a format output that enables quick tree visualization (other than using XSL) ? For exmaple, Altova XMLSpy (http://www.altova.com/xml-editor/) by default printed the output of:
<b>xquery>for $a in (1 to 3) return <number>{$a}</number></b>
as 
<b><number>1</number>
<number>2</number>
<number>3</number></b>

I was trying to work with the <b>\f</b> option but in vain. Its a simple visualization feature and I was wondering if it could be solved without XSL.

Thanks again,
Sagar

In the "Helloworld.xml" document, there is a text node between the nodes <doc>, <greet> and <location>, which contains newline and white spaces.
The result of doc("HelloWorld.xml") includes these text nodes.

So, this result is correct.  If you want to print each node on a separate line, you need to explicitly add text nodes containing newlines (or maybe use another output format).

Hope this helps a bit.

Kind regards,

Jennie
