So you were given a XML file that came straight out of a windows system with no indentation and incorrect line endings. The simplest way out is xmllint.
The program does much more than formatting its input. Additional functions include: parsing, verifying, dropping empty nodes and many more.
Installing it on CentOS, Fedora and like, is performed via :
sudo yum -y install libxml2
openSUSE users may use yast or type something like:
zypper install libxml2
... while Debian and Ubuntu users will have to go like:
sudo apt-get install libxml2-utils
after you have it on your system, the easy way to fix the badly formated xml file would be :
xmllint --format badlyFormated.xml > wellFormated.xml
