Shredding is a good idea if you work with XML in your database. But here we export a XML from tables of our database to the filesystem. And I like to check the generated XML files by opening them.

My workaround is to open the XML file with Internet Explorer. IE formats the XML so it is much better readable. But I would prefer to be able to open the xml file with a text editor. But with a single line of all the xml data, it's unreadable in a normal text editor.

I thought, maybe someone knows a trick to accomplish this.
