Therefore this may not be all that helpful, but I use this to make unreadable XML readable:
$ xmllint --format file.xml
xmllint is installed so I'll play with it - a useful workaround so thanks.
Another thing you could consider (but, again, straying a bit far from your question) is using XPath to get the bits you want.
Knowing what I want would be the hard part! Mostly I just need to open the file for "browsing", maybe making occasional (and small scale, non-structural) changes. If a text editor opened it and displayed it formatted (having it all on one line isn't much good for browsing!) it would go far enough for my needs. Thanks for the pointers though. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0845 45 89 555 Registered in England (0456 0902) at 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG
