There's a 4th option, setTrimAllWhite which might be closer to what you
want, any text with even one non-ws char is left as is.

    XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter();
    outputter.setEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
    outputter.setIndent("  ");
    outputter.setNewlines(true);
    outputter.setTrimAllWhite(true);
