XML Code Formatting

General Guidelines

• Use two spaces instead of tabs.
• Save your files as UTF-8.
• Use UTF-8 for the content.

• The max line length is 120 characters. If a line exceeds 120 characters, it will need to be wrapped.

• Be careful with Eclipse XML auto-formatting with linewrapping and binary data.

Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- My comment -->
<person gender="male">
  <fistname>John</firstname>
  <lastname>Doe</lastname>
</person>
