Description herve66 2017-06-04 12:30:45 UTC 
When editing an XML document, there is apparently no way to keep the formatting for the elements content. For example, if we have the following content:
<element>
first line
  indented content
</element>
upon saving the XML document will have this formatting:
<element>
first line
indented content
</element>

It would be great to have an option like for comments (where we can disable Format Block Comments for example) to avoid to have this kind of behavior.
