I was sent a xml file. How can I open it on my iMac to see it formatted correctly. I can open it in text but it runs altogether. I can open and see all of the HTML code but I want to see it formatted correctly.
MacBook, OS X 10.11
xml stands for Extensible Markup Language. A xml file is just a text file. Open it with any text editor. You can also open it with a browser.
Here is what an xml file looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<colour-list>
<colour1> Red </colour1>
<colour2> Blue </colour2>
<colour3> Green </colour3>
</colour-list>
What format are you expecting?
If it runs together then it is probably missing carriage returns. You could try a site such as https://codebeautify.org/xmlviewer to see if helps you make more sense of the XML.

How was the file created? Normally you need a specific app to see such files as they were intended.
