 | The xmlformat is easy to use and robust tool. You may format any XML

 |

 | 	text text text text
 | 	text text text text
 | 	text
 | 	</exampletag>
 |

Well, isn't the proper way:
	<exampletag>text text text text
	  text text text text
	  text text text text
	  text</exampletag>
?

Anyway, xmlformat seems pretty cool. Despite depending on ruby, I'll
give it a try and, when I find time, I'll probably post a configuration 
file.
