That file is quite long. I'm looking for a editor that ordinates that xml file in order I can edit it easily. I use linux so that editor has to run on linux.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can try xmllint

xmllint --format my_file_name.xml

Answer 2

UltraEdit for Linux (UEX) has in menu Format a command to convert single-line XML feed to properly formatted XML document.

See the feature list of UEX for other XML related features like integrated xmllint support and an XML manager.
