[Exist-open] eXide: Switch off automatic XML indenting when opening documents?

[Vincent N. <vin...@gm...>]

Hello list,

Where in the eXide code can I switch off the "auto-indent" feature that
happens when you open an XML document in eXide?

When I open a document formatted like this:

<emptyTemplate>This is an ex<del>e</del><add>a</add>mple.</emptyTemplate>

eXide will automatically insert hard returns and spaces:

<emptyTemplate>This is an ex<del>e</del>
    <add>a</add>mple.</emptyTemplate>

Where can I change the code to prevent this from happening, and to make
eXide open the documents as they are instead of automatically formatting
them and indenting nested tags?

It took me a while to notice this was happening, and it will take many
hours of manual work to correct all of the errors (by way of unwanted extra
whitespace) that have crept into my project's XML transcriptions because of
this.

best,
Vincent Neyt
