I am using Beyond Compare 3.0 and using the XML tidy and XML tidied with sorted attributes plugins. Its great and while I would like it to show me the "tidied" XML, Once I resolve me merge, I would like to save it back with the original formatting (not the tidied format). Is there anyway of doing this?
For example, if I have these two XML snippets -
File1 : <test attrib="1" batrib="2" catrib="3"\>
File2 : <test batrib="4" catrib="5" attrib="5"\>
I would like to visually see them tidied up and attributes sorted, so I can make my changes/resoluutions. For example, If I resolve to change the value of attrib to 5 and keep the rest, When I save the file, I want to see this ...
Final : <test attrib="5" batrib="2" catrib="3">
Not : <test
attrib="5"
batrib="2"
catrib="3">
Beyond compare seems to save the file in the second format (tidied) up.
Any Idea how I can go about fixing this?
Regards ...
The best way I can think of is to use Visual Studio's format document feature to re-un-tidy the file after you've merged.
