wrapping xml

wrapping xml

[rahed]

Hi,

I opened an xml file in emacs 22.0. The xml is not formatted being
one-liner. I tried to find something in sgml or nxml mode to pretty wrap
the code but didn't succeed. Is something simple available?

E.g. in a pspad editor which I have at hand I can pretty format through
one button.

Thanks for advice.

I wondered the same thing a while ago and did not bother to find out
how it could be done. Instead I wrote a keyboard macro that did
something like this:

 1. Search for "<"
 2. Back up one character
 3. Press return to move the rest of the line down
 4. Press Tab to make Emacs indent the line
 
Save macro. Execute, execute again...

You can just replace "<" with "^M<" and then reindent the region.  The
^M is produced by C-q ENTER.

Ah, of course, was just checking that people were awake... :) Also,
this requires the XML mode to support indentation. At least some years
ago that did not work by default (SGML-mode?).

I replaced '<' with 'C-q C-j <' and aplied M-x indent-region with the
result I expected.

Thanks much.
