Interesting XML quirk.

As much as I enjoy reading some of these technical descriptions, I feel like I am understanding about 5% of what is said. I envy those of you with this sort of technical knowledge and want to express my appreciation for the time you put into the community.
 
First off:
My knowledge of XML is very limited.

Then:
Thanks to Avi's pointers to Notepad++ and XML plugin I found that you can indeed reformat the XML for Human usage (= easy to read set-up) in Notepad++ by selecting Plugins / XML Tools / Pretty Print (XML Only - with line breaks) and even go back to the non-friendly (for Humans) block setup by selecting Plugins / XML Tools / Linarise XML.

EightBitz: Maybe Notepad++ will work better in this aspect than PowerShell.

Disclaimer:
Tested quickly with a XML-file from Excel - might or might not work with RW.

Notepad++ is what I've been using for my XML import tasks. I've never had a problem with the tool corrupting the XML in any way.

Thanks, but it's all good now. At first, it was the not-knowing. And now I know. And I've since discovered that PowerShell has an option to preserve white space for XML files, meaning whatever the white space looks like when it reads the file, that's how it saves it back out.
 
EightBitz, what was the problem? I saw something on <content> earlier but didn't really get it. I am moderately proficient with XML but didn't get what you said there.
