Hi, Taras,

Pretty-printing should work.  Simply select the XML or XSLT,
and run the Edit|Advanced|Format Selection (Ctrl-K Ctrl-F) command.
This only works in an XSLT edit window, not an XML edit window.
But it will work on any kind of XML text, not just XSLT.

One thing this command won't do is separate two contiguous tags
on the same line, as in

<element_1_with_lots_of_attributes a1='v1' ... a1000='v1000'> <element_2 ...>

For this, you need to do a search-and-replace of '\> \<' with
'> \n< with selection on before carrying out the Format command.
I think this could easily be automated with a macro to call the
two commands, something like:

Edit.Replace "\> \<", ">\n", /r, /sel
Edit.FormatSelection
