It applies to results generated while it is set on.

Thank does not work.  The Results window still shows unformatted XML!  See small screenshot.

Hi Buddy,

 

I think you want the indent results button on the main toolbar.

In BaseX GUI (Version 10.5), I cannot get the pretty printing to work.  I have the below option configured in .basexgui but it appears to have no impact, as the XML that is output in the Results area is NOT pretty printed.

 

Can you advise on how to best get the pretty printing of the XML to happen in BaseX GUI?

 

# Local Options

SERIALIZER = indent=yes
