Any online xml formatters? Ones that properly indent the tags.
Or any free Windows text editor which has a built-in xml formatter?

Vim has an freely downloadable script which might serve your purpose. Oh, and it's a damned fine text editor, too!
You'll need "xmllint" in addition as for this as well.http://xmlsoft.org/xmllint.html

My new favorite text editor under windows is jEdit. It has a plug-in based architecture, and I believe XML indentation requires a plug-in, but plug-in installation is a breeze. Check it out. It also does indentation and syntax highlighting for countless other languages.

I use Visual Studio. No, I'm not joking. I'm not sure if it is in the Express-versions of Visual Studio and thus qualifies as free.
Pasting a XML-string into an XML-document under VS just indents it mighty fine. As needed by me sometimes :)

My favourite freeware editor - PSPad - does that just fine. It even includes Tidy, so you can specify exactly how you want your XML to be formatted.

Looks to me like this is the only good answer to the original question. Thanks kAra.

This one currently has a problem if you have encoded entities in your input. with this input: `<xml><someval>Test <code> value</someval></xml>`, the output includes the line `<someval>Test <code> value</someval>`. (Note that the `<` has been incorrectly decoded into `<`, resulting in an invalid document.

http://xmltoolbox.appspot.com worked for me but most of the others had trouble dealing with inline comments.

I just came across this post and thought someone may be interested. There is a silverlight xml formatter here at http://www.bytechaser.com/en/resources/tp9h7nivzr/free-online-xml-formatting-tool.aspx It can take a few seconds to load initially but all you do is paste in the xml and set the indentation. I use it for formatting SSIS config files.
