Hi,


>Guess I had not understood perfectly before. I was always under the impression that an XML file was a file that was pretty much indented and with well placed cr_fl's.

CR,LF and some other characters such as SPACE are, except as element content, irrelevant in XML - they're just used to make it more 'human-readable'. To be 'well-formed' XML must just follow a few basic rules (e.g. matched and properly nested element tags). FWIW, if you view an XML file in IE it uses a default XSL translation to add this type of formatting (and build the neat 'treeview' appearance).

HTH,
