sfk list . xml +run "xml format $file" -to pretty\$file -yes example output:
written: pretty\apps\JSR172Demo\server\src\config.xml written: pretty\apps\JSR172Demo\server\src\jaxrpc-ri.xml written: pretty\apps\JSR172Demo\server\src\web.xml in this example, the reformatted contents are written into output files under a directory "pretty". let us view how config.xml was reformatted by:
