Re: Pretty printing an XML document

Once you’ve put the step in your library (maybe you name it “pretty-print” instead?), it will look very concise and readable when you use it in your pipelines:

…
<l:pretty-print/>
…

I would never use that for document-like content though—it’ll mess up whitespace. 

Btw., you can make that stylesheet shorter:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="3.0">
    <xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>
    <xsl:output indent="true"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
