If you are enforcing split lines on every single tag except ones that |
| 12 |
can be shortened like <tag />, then it does not matter if you use 4 |
| 13 |
spaces or tabs. Both would be compatible with sed assuming the indenting |
| 14 |
is correct in either case. With regard to white space within tags is |
| 15 |
another story. The rule should still apply there and so compatibility |
| 16 |
would remain. |

However, I do not disagree an XML parser is better than sed for the |
| 19 |
purpose. There are plenty of XML pretty printers. |
