Description

### Summary

I'd like to create projects (for file-based apps) with a nice format like:

```xml


Y



```

### Background and Motivation

Currently I'm using interpolated string literals for this, because I don't think there are good APIs for that. Not even XmlWriter can add blank lines and preserve the indentation (from my experiments). See https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/50885#discussion_r2368413737.

### Proposed Feature

Support this via APIs? cc @baronfel
