If you have ever complained about programs generating ugly XML you should install XML tools for Notepad++. The tools are installed from the plugin manager and give you a whole list of tools including Pretty Print, linearize and toggle the HTML identities (&lt; to <, etc). I regularly copy blocks of code from SharePoint/SharePoint Designer into Notepad++ just so I can read the stuff.

XML is like violence, If it is not doing what you need it to do, you are not using it enough.
