HtmlTextWriter Formatting Issues

[Randal Vance Cunanan]

Need help on the format of the produced output of the HtmlWriter class. I need to make properly indent the tags in the final rendered output. Sample:

string[] Names = new string[]
{
"Johnny",
"Mindy",
"Jossy",
"Kreuger",
"Marco"
};

        HtmlTextWriter writer = new HtmlTextWriter(new StringWriter());
        writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Ul);
        foreach (string name in Names)
        {
            writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Li);
            writer.Write(name);
            writer.RenderEndTag();
            writer.WriteLine();
        }
        writer.RenderEndTag();

The produced output is this:

<ul>
    <li>Johnny</li>
    <li>Mindy</li>
    <li>Jossy</li>
    <li>Kreuger</li>
    <li>Marco</li>
</ul>

The closing ul tag is not indented properly. Any work around for this, thanks a lot.

This looks like some whitespace is rendered before the code snippet you've provided. If this is from the Render method of a control, it may be whitespace introduced in the designer.
