You shouldn't be using toDocument() anyway.  It doesn't provide an 
opportunity to add formatting options.  Are you using XMLC in a servlet 
environment?  Then use....

XMLCContext#writeDOM(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse, 
OutputOptions, XMLObject)

The OutputOptions provide the magic.  Use OutputOptions#setPrettyPrinting(true)

Check out the XMLC-2.2 or 2.2.1 release in the tomcat example for code 
using XMLCContext.

Alternatively, you can just create a new DOMFormatter, pass it 
OutputOptions (with pretty printing as described above), and then use one 
of the various DOMFormatter#write() methods.

Make sure to check out the Javadoc for XMLC (comes in a zip file within the 
2.2 and 2.2.1 releases) as it will show you all the options I've mentioned 
above.
