What you see is the unindented output. It is perfectly well-formed XML (i.e. not corrupted in any way), even if, as a human reader, it hurts your good taste. If you want to get a nice indented output, simply check the "Indent when DTD" toggle in the "Save" tab of the "Options" dialog box (in menu "Options"). You'll have to do that once for all because settings are automatically saved to a preference file. Of course, you'll have to repeat this setting each time you install XXE on a new machine, as it is not the default setting. > Is this a known problem, and is there anything I can do to resolve it, > please? This is a FAQ. PS: in the product which will be released tomorrow, indented output is the default setting.
