Re: Formatting: A line break before each attribute?
I was scared away by a warning on Cooktop's website that it will save
changes without asking! Anyway, I found a freeware application called
"firstobject XML Editor" that does the trick. As an added bonus, it's only
900K and doesn't require installation.
Thanks for your help.

If you want to do it programmatically then you can do it with the .NET
framework 2.0 or later by creating an XmlWriter with XmlWriterSettings
to Indent and to have NewLineOnAttributes, then passing in an XmlReader
to the WriteNode method:
public static void PrettyPrint(string input, string output,
XmlWriterSettings settings)
{
using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(input))
{
using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(output, settings))
{
writer.WriteNode(reader, true);
}
}
}
Call like this
XmlWriterSettings writerSettings = new XmlWriterSettings();
writerSettings.NewLineOnAttributes = true;
writerSettings.Indent = true;
PrettyPrint("input.xml", "output.xml", writerSettings);

Re: Formatting: A line break before each attribute?
If you want to do it programmatically without .Net then see the answers to
my question "Inserting newlines into XML document" asked on 3/20/2008 (or
maybe 3/19/2008 depending on timezone, but probably not).
