[postgis-devel] astyle

[Kevin Neufeld]

In keeping with this policy, I propose the same be done to the xml files we are using for documentation.  In this way, 
content changes can be easily separated from style changes.

I found xmlformat - a free, configurable, xml pretty printer that seems to do the same thing astyle does for c.  We can 
customize the formatter so that some tags can be treated as blocks with indented tags, others as inline, and others as 
verbatim (like <programlisting>).

If anyone has any better ideas, I'm all ears, but I wouldn't mind seeing the code base adopt some style convention.

Cheers,
Kevin
