What Convert iXML to XML can do:

Convert iXML to XML transforms indentation-based XML (iXML) into proper nested XML tags. You can control how it interprets structure with tab vs space indentation and optionally collapse text values inline for cleaner results. Whether you’re cleaning up exported outlines, indentation-based logs, or shorthand XML notations, this tool makes it easy to convert without writing a parser yourself.

Example:

iXML Input:

root
  user
    name Alice
    email [email protected]

Output:

<root><user><name>Alice</name><email>[email protected]</email></user></root>

Common Use Cases:

Use Convert iXML to XML when working with XML outlines, tree structures, or developer-friendly formats that use indentation instead of full tag syntax. Great for converting mind map data, outline notes, or quick-drafted hierarchies into valid XML.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re moving from iXML, it might help to run Validate XML afterward to make sure everything lines up cleanly. And if you’re doing back-and-forth work, Convert XML to iXML lets you roundtrip easily for testing or edits.
