First, please make sure to use a text editor which supports the encoding
you have chosen for you XML files: ISO-8859-9 (Turkish).

Moreover, on Windows, please use write (AKA wordpad) instead on notepad
because notepad does not support Unix-style end of lines.

XXE always uses Unix-style end of lines: "\n" and not DOS-style end of
lines: "\r\n". Note that, in XML, both end of lines are valid and that
we are free to choose "\n".

What is a *clean* XML file?

XMLmind XML Editor always creates *well-formed* XML file, whether
indented or not. Well-formedness is defined in the XML standard.
Cleanness is not.

Check again the Indent checkbox, specify 0 (zero) in the "Indentation"
field, specify a very large number (e.g. 10000000) in the "Max. line
length" field. More info in
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.dialog.PreferencesEditorDialog.html#saveOptions

If you don't like this style, then you'll have to switch to another XML
editor because this the best we can do for you.
