  • XSLT
  • XML Charset — If you think that XML is by far the shittiest standard ever, then looking at this page removes any doubts about that conclusion.

Tips

Format XML document

Using xmllint from package libxml2-utils [1]:

xmllint --format doc.xml
XMLLINT_INDENT="    " xmllint --format doc.xml
XMLLINT_INDENT=$'\t'  xmllint --format doc.xml | sponge doc.xml

Using xsltproc and XSLT stylesheet. This requires an intermediate XSLT document:

cat > indent.xslt << __HERE__
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
    <xsl:output method="xml"  encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" />
    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
__HERE__
xsltproc indent.xslt doc.xml
