Add line breaks in large XML file in one line


From the menu , go to

Plugins --> XML Tools --> Pretty Print 

If you don't have the XML tools plugin installed, you can download it by clicking on

Plugins --> Show Plugin Manager 

And choosing XML Tools


Perhaps that will be useful to someone:

How can I add a line break for each tag so that it is not in one line in my editor?

To do that to several files, automatically, I use XmlLint:

xmllint YOUR_FILE.xml --format

XmlLint is available in the Kubuntu/Ubuntu packages, and also can be downloaded for several operating systems in:ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/


instead of of doing this : Plugins --> XML Tools --> Pretty Print , you can use this usefull shortcut : Ctrl + Alt + shift + B
