When writing an XML file using `N/xml` and `N/file` is there a way to "pretty print" the resulting XML so humans can read it easier instead of all on one line?

Hmmm, now that I think of it, the problem may not be with `N/xml` but with my hand-rolled JSON to XML function.

Hmm is it possible to pass the xml document directly to file.create instead of parsing it to string first?

What would that solve? It won't get pretty printed 

I don't know. I was just reaching for an easy answer. :persevere:

If you're just viewing XML files in the file cabinet, I would recommend a browser extension like <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xml-tree/gbammbheopgpmaagmckhpjbfgdfkpadb|XML Tree>

If you're instead displaying the XML in a text field, let me know if you find an answer, I want to know how too =P

The end users are downloading the XML file and viewing them in Notepad so I need to add whitespace based on the hierarchy of the XML document.

There's some js libraries floating around that you may be able to use
Looks like some of them are just calling a bunch of regex replacements
