XML formatting and highlighting in Discover

[jurgynet]

Some of my fields are xml. It would be awesome to have a button to pretty print with indentation of XML data. Perhaps similar to the View: table /json / raw level, have an XML option. Or at the field level, option to do so.

This could be implemented with the field formatter function we have planned: #1543

Re-opening, since the field formatter today does not seem to address this.

Is this request in the context of Discover, where you preview the fields?

[tbragin]

Changing the title to indicate this ask is mainly related to rendering XML documents in a custom way in Discover.

As a reference point, here is the kind of previews some vendors offer, with auto-indentation and syntax highlighting.

Hey @tbragin, do you still think we need to discuss this issue? I added the label to it since it was in the discuss section of our roadmap, but I'm not sure what the original need for discussion was.

[tbragin]

@Bargs I don't remember whether it was me that added it or not, I'm ok removing it from discuss agenda if others are not in a good place to think through this problem.

This feature request is an interesting idea but since its opening we have not seen enough feedback that it is a feature we should pursue. We prefer to close this issue as a clear indication that we are not going to work on this at this time. We are always open to reconsidering this in the future based on compelling feedback; despite this issue being closed please feel free to leave feedback on the proposal (including +1s).
