I am using HtmlUnit to web scrape documentation.

The following documentation includes a code block that contains tags, and the content of those tags is HTML.

Input:

The org.htmlunit.html.The DomNode.asXML() function is returning a block of text with extra spacing, which is not present in the original.

Output:

<span data-stt-ignore="">
  <div class="highlight">
    <pre tabindex="0" style=";-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;">
      <code class="language-xml" data-lang="xml">
        <span style="display:flex;">
          <span>
            <span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold">
              &lt;property
            </span>
            <span style="color:#7d9029">
              key=
            </span>
            <span style="color:#ba2121">
              "propertyKey"
            </span>

            <span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold">
              &gt;
            </span>
          </span>
        </span>
        <span style="display:flex;">
          <span>
            <span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold">
              &lt;caption&gt;
            </span>
            My Property
            <span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold">
              &lt;/caption&gt;
            </span>
          </span>
        </span>
        <span style="display:flex;">
          <span>
            <span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold">
              &lt;description&gt;
            </span>
            This is my property
            <span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold">
              &lt;/description&gt;
            </span>
          </span>
        </span>
        <span style="display:flex;">
          <span>
            <span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold">
              &lt;/property&gt;
            </span>
          </span>
        </span>
      </code>
    </pre>
  </div>
</span>

Are there options to customize this behavior? At the moment, I am trying to use regex in a while loop with String.replaceAll, but this is not ideal.
