XML Formatting

[davedev066]

I select "apply source formatting" in Dreamweaver for an XML document and it indents the XML hiearchically, but it adds returns so a string in an element is placed on its own line like this:

<some_string>
California
</some_string>

when I want it to be like this:

<some_string>California</some_string>

Anybody know how I can configure Dreamweaver to do this? Thanks.

You can't. Tell the Dreamweaver team that source formatting for XML
needs to be fixed by filing a bug report/enhancement request.

Thanks for the reply. Its kinda funny because when I tested the formatting to post this, I was on my old Dreamweaver 4 at home which formats it just the way I wanted it. So much for progress.
