I have Notepad++ and I got some XML code which is very long. When I pasted it in Notepad++ there was a long line of code (difficult to read and work with).

I want to know if there is a simple way to make the text readable (by readable I mean properly tabbed code).

I can do it manually, but I want a permanent solution to this as I have faced this several times. I am sure there is a way to do this as I have done it once before a couple of years back, maybe with Visual Studio or some other editor, I don’t remember.

But can Notepad++ do it?

    Try Plugins -> XML Tools -> Pretty Print (libXML) or (XML only – with line breaks Ctrl + Alt + Shift + B)

    You may need to install XML Tools using your plugin manager in order to get this option in your menu.

    In my experience, libXML gives nice output but only if the file is 100% correctly formed.
