I agree. Having written something similar in the past (closed source
for my employer) it's worth keeping it simple, or you'll end up
implementing the whole of DOM, a modular stream interface, etc.
I also agree a look at expat - it would be very useful if expat
and genex worked well together.
I really like the simplicity of the Perl XML::Writer module
- there may be some ideas on pretty-printing which are worth
taking:

Finally, good luck!

Tim,
rant:
many comments sent are making genx.h more complex. My feeling is that it
is already
at the required level of complexity or above, and should be kept as simple
or
made simpler.
error handling:
what about not returning error conditions? Predicates (check...) return
either 0 or !0,
it is clear. But what's the use of error codes in writers? If it's use is
in error handling,
then an error_handler(void *userData, int errno) can be passed to the API.
The user can easily do longjmp, exit(), abort(), or whatever there.
The default error handler would perror() and exit().
