Text output in rxml (builder)

Rails
1

Hi, I need to output the following in an rxml template:

-122.3662784465226,37.81884427772081,30 -122.3652480684771,37.81926777010555,30 -122.365640222455,37.81986126286519,30 -122.36666937925,37.81942987753481,30 -122.3662784465226,37.81884427772081,30

what I am struggling with are the text lines:

xml.coordinates do
#what goes here?
end

I experimented with xml.text! but I could not find a way to preserve the
indentation and get the linebreaks

Thanks for any help!

xml << ‘-122…’ # right?
end

<< goes in with no translation.

What about xml.text! “-122…\n” ?

This worked, but I had to manually add spaces to get the indentation
(not that that would be terribly important, but…)

Thanks!

Maybe if you use the “”" (multiline string) or << (here doc) operator it
will keep the indentation?

I’m having an extra problem now, I’m doing this:
xml.Data ‘ss:Type’ => ‘String’ do
xml.text! format_excel_html(block_content)
end

Now it works, but the output is like this:

bla bla bla

The problem I have is the whitespace the builder creates around my
content. Does anyone know a trick to get rid of this whitespace?
