How do i add a newline or carriage return to make my xml file look pretty?

Question

Hi guys
I'm writing an xml file with jsp, the problem is, it writes it in one big chunk of text. e.g.
<start>hello, my name is joe</start><middle>I like trees</middle><end>boo</end>
Now what I want to do is present this xml file in a decent manner,
e.g.
<start>hello my name is joe</start>
<middle>i like trees</middle>
<end>boo</end>
i've tried
xmlFile = "<start>Hello my name is joe</start>"+\n\r;
and
xmlFile ="<start>Hello my name is joe</start>"+"\n\r";
neither work, can anyone provide me with some insight into how I can add a carriage return / new line to make my xml file look pretty?
Many thanks for any responses!

u r right <BR> tag will not work...
I wrote following code to generate xml file and it works fine...U can try the same...
try
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("c:\\temp.xml");
String xmlString = "<root>\n<start>Hello my name is joe</start>"+"\n";
xmlString = xmlString +"<middle>blah blah</middle>\n</root>";
fos.write(xmlString.getBytes());
fos.close();
fos = null;
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}
