### For XML files
Kiwix follows `2 spaces` for the `Indent` and `4 spaces` for the `Continuous Indent` values. (Same as that in Square's Style Guide) You can update these values using following steps:
- Go to **Settings** -> **Editor** -> **Code Style** -> **XML**
- Update the respective values under the **Tabs and Indents** tab
After changing the values, one can simply select the files to indent, `Right click` -> `Reformat Code` -> Check `Rearrange entries` -> `OK`.
