Taras,

One simple workaround to get XML into a human readable format is to use
XSLT. Here is a simple variation on the identity transform.

<xsl:transform version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> 

 <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/> 

 <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> 
  <xsl:copy> 
   <xsl:apply-templates match="@*|node()"/> 
  </xsl:copy> 
 </xsl:template> 

</xsl:transform> 

Run your XML through this transformation, save that to a file, and then
work with the reformatted XML. Or use a macro in VS.NET. This does have
its limitations, as noted in the XSLT spec regarding indent="yes" and
mixed content elements, but I find it pretty useful nonetheless.

Cheers,
Stuart
