About the XML Formatter

Frequently asked questions
Are comments and CDATA kept?
Yes, comments, CDATA sections, processing instructions and doctypes are preserved.
Does formatting change the XML?
Only whitespace between elements. Be careful with elements where whitespace is significant, such as mixed text content or xml:space="preserve".
Can it format sitemaps and RSS feeds?
Yes — any well-formed XML, including sitemaps, RSS and Atom feeds, SVG and SOAP messages.
