Output

Work through the task

Indent supported element-only XML without reflowing mixed text.

  1. Enter XML and choose the offered indentation.
  2. Review the output as text. Element-only children can be indented, while mixed text and its order must remain meaningful.
  3. Review the result before copying or downloading. Editing an input invalidates the previous result; keep an original if the transformation matters.

Example to check

<r>before <b>bold</b> after</r> keeps the mixed text “before bold after”.

Limits and output behavior

Source is limited to 100,000 characters. JSON/YAML/TOML have 10,000 values and 40 data levels; XML has separate node/attribute and element-depth guards. Comments, numeric spelling and other lexical formatting may normalize. YAML aliases/custom tags and TOML null values are unsupported. XML 1.0 only; one root, no DTD/custom entities or external resources. This is not XML canonicalization or application-schema validation.

Troubleshooting

Correct malformed tags and unsupported declarations before beautifying. Check namespaces and the one-root/node/depth limits; external entities are never fetched.

Questions

Can every element be placed on a new indented line?

Element-only children can be indented. Mixed content keeps its meaningful text and order rather than being reflowed as a generic pretty-printer.
