xml format

Format an XML document.

• 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 for the `format` subcommand:

xml format --help
