Schema with carriage return

Question

I would get the batch file with details of individual jobs as the output schema. The xml file looks alright. However when opened in notepad does not come with carriage return included.
I know that we can include child delimiter if it's an input flat file converted to xml schema, but no idea on output files.
Is there anyway we can include the Carriage return line feed in the schema so that when opened in notepad it's readable.

Assuming you're talking about the output XML rather than the schema; if you open the XML in Visual Studio press the following keys
<crtl>KD and the XML will be formatted with indentation (hold the
<crtl> key down while pressing both the K and
D keys).
If you want a simple command line utility to format XML for you, the following should do the trick (pass in the name of the XML file):
static void Main(string[] args)
XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
document.Load(args[0]);
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(args[0], Encoding.UTF8);
writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
document.Save(writer);
writer.Flush();
writer.Close();
NOTE: this key sequence also formats source code.
