Hiya Stefan, NP++. Same here!! It's a brilliant all-round editor of scripts, code and even the odd bit of hex editing. I use Nicolas' "XML Tools" add-in on a regular basis for editing WPKG files and pretty-printing them. I haven't used them to validate my files to the XSD yet though. The DSpell add-in might have been the one that "corrected" your name earlier today. I'm stuck with Outlook as the corporate e-mail client so I can't quote responses easily. I use NP++ in column mode to add indents and respond properly to e-mails and posts where netiquette counts . It's not perfect :-/ Strangely enough, I sent a PM to Nicholas about some quotation quirks affecting "pretty printing" a while back. I had a bunch of XML files that needed editing and (for a change) they had nicely matching quotes. If you had "' then it indented correctly, if you had '" the Indentation just drifted off to the right infinitely. I get the same effect if I "pretty print" WPKG XML files where I'm using the lazy method Do you get the same?
