Read XML, change values, write back: Crippled file

[probono]

Trying to read an XML file (here: a Scribus file), change some values, and write the changed XML back to a file.

When trying this using encoding/xml, I end up with a crippled file.

Here is my code:

probonopd/scribus-go/blob/master/scribus.go

And here is a test file:

probonopd/scribus-go/blob/master/Document-1.sla

The resulting changed file should be able to be opened with Scrubus but I can’t get it to work.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks for your help @rot13.

• Added the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> - this was easy (similar to https://play.golang.org/p/Rbfb717tvh)
• Newline at the end - does not matter, Scribus can read files with and without newlines at the end
• <TableBorderLine Width="1" PenStyle="1" Color="Black" Shade="100"/> gets rewritten to <TableBorderLine Width="1" PenStyle="1" Color="Black" Shade="100"></TableBorderLine> - not nice since it increases the file size, but Scribus can read the file nevertheless
• Randomly inserted LF 
 and spaces - this is the real problem. Why is this happening, what am I doing wrong?

Manually replacing the 
 with nothing does fix the file. But it’s a crude workaround.

According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/32399389 I am supposed to add ,innerxml to the struct definition but for the heck of it I can’t seem to get it to work.

For example, I have

type SCRIBUSUTF8NEW struct {
	XMLName  xml.Name `xml:"SCRIBUSUTF8NEW"`
(...)

How do I add the required ,innerxml there?
