How to avoid & # 1 3 ; in serialized XML?

Question

I use the following code to write a XML (DOM) object to file:
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);            TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();            try {                Transformer t = tf.newTransformer();                t.setOutputProperty("media-type", "text/plain"); //default: text/plain                t.setOutputProperty("indent", "yes");                t.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4");                DOMSource domsource = new DOMSource(document);                StreamResult sr = new StreamResult(fos);                t.transform(domsource, sr);             } catch (TransformerConfigurationException tce) {                tce.printStackTrace(System.err);            } catch (TransformerException te) {                te.printStackTrace(System.err);            }i need to have nice formatting and preserved white spaces/lines. the code above does this, but also inserts a 
 for each carriage return (in addition to the carriage return itself). so the output is
This is line 1.
And this is line 2instead of:
This is line 1.
And this is line 2How can i avoid the generation of this 
?

Answer 1

In XML, 
 is exactly equivalent to a carriage-return character.
