Good afternoon. There is an xml document (Wikipedia dump, to be exact).
head -n 30 showed it was formatted. How to reformat it from type A to B (remove line breaks and tabs / spaces needed to improve human readability)? The parser will not care in the future.
Googling didn't lead to anything.
To the questions "Why?" - Wikipedia dumps are not small and there are a lot of these signs.

View A

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<note>
  <to>Tove</to>
  <from>Jani</from>
  <heading>Reminder</heading>
  <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>

Type B

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><note><to>Tove</to><from>Jani</from><heading>Reminder</heading><body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body></note>

you can get confused with SAX (like for digesting large XML files), so the integrity will be accurately preserved,
or you can use a simple regular expression (>\s<, >< )

It seems that there should be XML TiDy, or the latest versions of TiDy (from GitHub) can also work with XML.
