This is a feature request. I commonly find myself reading XML files in Powershell and needing to view an XML file that was read into a variable in powershell. Not too big an issue but trying to view the contents of the XML in Powershell Studio is painful. Is there a way I can display the xml; navigation would help as well.

So as an exemption you may have something like
invoke-expression $exp
Out put file from the command is written in XML so then I would have something like:
[xml]$xmlresponse - get-content $outputfilename

and I would like to view the $xmlresponse in powershell studio I don't see a good method to do this at this time. Would anyone else use this?

Adding XML syntax coloring is on our TODO list. At the moment we don't have any mechanism to do this, but I will pass it along to the dev team.

Thank you for your feedback!
