NSXML - preserving white space in new elements

I'm trying to create a simple XML document which holds information regarding text styling, so it is important to maintain white space between words, but I'm having difficulty achieving this. Here's an example.
I'd like to form this string into an XML element:


NSString *xmlString =@"<paragraph>The <bold>cat</bold> <italic>sat</ italic> on the <bold>mat</bold></paragraph>";

if I try this:

NSXMLElement *xml = [[[NSXMLElement alloc]initWithXMLString:xmlString error:&err]autorelease];

then I lose the spacing between 'cat' and 'sat'.

I can use:

NSXMLDocument *xml = [[[NSXMLDocument alloc] initWithXMLString:xmlString options:NSXMLNodePreserveWhitespace error:&err]autorelease];

which preserves spacing, though I don't want a new NSXMLDocument, I need a new element to add to an existing document.

Is there a way of creating an NSXMLElement with 'options:NSXMLNodePreserveWhitespace'?

I've attempted using:
NSXMLElement *xml = [[[NSXMLElement alloc] initWithKind:NSXMLElementKind options:NSXMLNodePreserveAll]autorelease];


and then setting the name and string. However, the XML in the string is then escaped as thus: &lt;bold>cat&lt;/bold>


Any suggestions greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Cocoa-dev mailing list (email@hidden) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: This email sent to email@hidden
