XML Prettifiers

Anyone know of a web based tool that can reformat XML into something a bit more comfortable to read?

Thanks

Have you considered XSLT?

not suitable - i just need to take an xml file with out any formatting - ie its all on 1 line and add some white space so its a bit more readable and editable in a regular text editor.

XML Spy (can download for a trial period) does that and also will put it into a nice grid format if you want. http://www.altova.com/products/xmlspy/xml_editor.html

Does Internet Explorer count?

that was a backup plan, but when you copy and paste else where you've got all the "-"s added to the file.

That link also gives access to the source code, i just need to build a little xml file converter now. Unformatted file in, formatted file out
