Hi!

My XML Templater workflow is as follows: One feature triggers the root template, that then processes three subtemplates. However, I can't get the subtemplates to begin on a new line.

Current state:

</node><node id="80000000010000007000" attributes="">
	<tags>...</tags>
</node><node id="80000000010000007001" attributes="">
    <tags>...</tags>
</node><node id="80000000010000007002... 

Desired state:

</node>
<node id="80000000010000007000" attributes="">
	<tags>...</tags>
</node>
<node id="80000000010000007001" attributes="">
    <tags>...</tags>
</node>
<node id="80000000010000007002... 

But I can't seem to work out how to get a newline in there. I've tried both some CDATA-suggestion from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10917555/adding-a-new-line-break-tag-in-xml as well as 
 - neither of which are permitted.

Hi @fhilding, I don't think there is a good way to do that within the XMLTemplater. Consider using the XMLFormatter if you need to adjust the format of the resulting XML document.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?

Of course! Almost silly of me to forget that there's also a formatter :) Thanks!
