xml format

Format an XML document. More information: https://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/docs.php.

• Format an XML document, indenting with tabs:

xml format --indent-tab path/to/input.xml|URI > path/to/output.xml

• Format an HTML document, indenting with 4 spaces:

xml format --html --indent-spaces 4 path/to/input.html|URI > path/to/output.html

• Recover parsable parts of a malformed XML document, without indenting:

xml format --recover --noindent path/to/malformed.xml|URI > path/to/recovered.xml

• Format an XML document from stdin, removing the DOCTYPE declaration:

cat path\to\input.xml | xml format --dropdtd > path/to/output.xml

• Format an XML document, omitting the XML declaration:

xml format --omit-decl path\to\input.xml|URI > path/to/output.xml

• Display help:

xml format --help
