Is it clear that there is a prettier way that is valid for an arbitrary
DTD? Adding the newlines within the tag is always safe, but once you
decide to add newlines within the content of elements you have to
fight with the whitespace handling rules of sgml, which is never much
fun, to check that you are not changing the content of the document
in the course of pretty printing.
