Uttered "Paul W. Frields" <stickster(a)gmail.com>, spake thus:
Only the content matters.
CAVEAT: Once you make a change to a .xml document where your local copy
is NOT normalized, when you use the "cvs diff" command, the diff will be
very long because of the normalization differences.
If you would like to see the magic, just update your "docs-commons"
directory and see three new files in a "docs-common/bin" directory:
1) xmlformat -- the reformatting script
2) xmlformat-dfp.conf -- configuration file for the script
3) tidy-bowl -- driver script
You can try it out by doing this, in your document working directory:
$ ../docs-common/bin/tidy-bowl my-file.xml
Caution: this rewrites your input file inplace, so it may be wise to
keep a copy ;-)
This can also help reduce a lengthly local diff to what the CVS
server would actually see.
