Hello,
Do we have any utilities to read xml files?  This can be done in winblows
(IE) but not in lynx.  Perhaps there is a conversion utility out there.

Thanks
Chris

To correct a point they're pretty hard to read in ie with win also my machine at
work crashed reading them once.  However using good old emacs they came out just
fine.  Lots of source but readable.

Hello there.
XML documents are just text that has been marked up and contains tags as
well as other metadata represented in textual terms.  So I really don't see
where this thread is headed nor where its going.  I haven't checked my mail
in a few days, so I appologize if I'm not up on this completely.  In any
event, nano or emacs, heck even vi will read XML documents just fine.

I have also had good success renaming .xml as .html and opening with lynx. Many tags will be the same and will get parsed and rendered correctly. The worst case is that you just get the tag displayed--just like any ASCII editor. 

I suppose I could (and should) set .xml to open with lynx in my mailcap.

You can read XML files with Lynx and you don't see all the code which is
the way I would want it.  Unless I'm editing the document I have no reason
that I would want to see the source.
