I was talking more about code. XML i consider more like "forced markup" lol.
I can't blame you for wanting to auto-format XML if you're dealing with a bunch of it.

For me, when coding, especially javascript, it helps to do the formatting myself because it also helps me "see" the "scope" of my methods and classes, so my brain can quickly spot where a scope starts and ends, also helps me make less mistakes when creating new objects, or modifying existing stuff.
