If i read the formatted (with LF+CR) template files using SAXBuilder and
then try to parse them using DOM (not jdom!) i get errors because the number
of child-nodes DOM thinks it has are more than in reality due to newlines
added by SAXBuilder (XMLOutputter is not involved; i used XMLOutputter to
look at what was being read).
I´m gradually migrating from DOM to JDOM and so i´ve got a mix of both at
the moment. When i get round to switching from DOM to JDOM in that class
i´ll let you know if it works with formatted xml-input.
