I guess such thing doesn't exist, but let me ask away anyway -- the following is exactly what I was looking for, couldn't express better than his: from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21117161: I like this solution, but am still in search of a Golang XML > formatter/prettyprinter that doesn't rewrite the document (other than > formatting whitespace).

Any way (e.g., to tweak encoding/xml) to make the beautified string look closer to the original?
