control over the output. The Saxon serializer (which you could invoke to
serialize the JDOM) will put long attributes on separate lines, but using its
own algorithm, not yours. If you really want control at this level, you probably
have to write your own serializer.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

insert text objects between objects to force line breaks, but what I have been
so far unable to do is to specify line breaks at known places between
attributes in an element.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
