v15.2 – Some parts of MDG generation are Formatted, others not
« on: September 18, 2020, 10:43:17 am »
I've now had the bandwidth to attempt to convert our very large hand-crafted MDG file to a model.

The generated file seems to have some profiles nicely formatted and others not.  This is inconsistent and requires that we go through an additional step to get a text editor to reformat the XML so it is readable by us.  It would seem everything after the UMLProfile section is unformatted.

Am I alone in seeing this?

XML does not have any "formatting" except for the syntax rules defined. Pretty printing for humans is merely superfluous. Well, in most cases I think.

My point, as always, is  Concistency, konsistency, consistensy! TMUffe - after Paolo

Why some pretty printed and others not?

Well, I guess formerly some of the coders had plenty of time to do that and now they are just low paid Indians doing only what is necessary/ordered.
