Sublime Text 3 plugin for formatting xml. Works on Sublime Text 2 as well. Created by André Bergonse http://www.bergspot.com/blog/2012/05/formatting-xml-in-sublime-text-2-xmllint/
import sublime, sublime_plugin, subprocess
class TidyXmlLintCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit):
command = "XMLLINT_INDENT='\t' xmllint --format --encode utf-8 -"
# help from http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=12451
xmlRegion = sublime.Region(0, self.view.size())
p = subprocess.Popen(command, bufsize=-1, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
result, err = p.communicate(self.view.substr(self.view.sel()[0]).encode('utf-8'))
if err != b"":
self.view.set_status('xmllint', "xmllint: "+err)
sublime.set_timeout(self.clear,10000)
else:
self.view.replace(edit, self.view.sel()[0], result.decode('utf-8'))
sublime.set_timeout(self.clear,0)
def clear(self):
self.view.erase_status('xmllint')

@vladox in line 13, err hast to be set as string. therefore change:

self.view.set_status('xmllint', "xmllint: "+err)

to

self.view.set_status('xmllint', "xmllint: "+err.decode(encoding='UTF-8'))

however this will only get rid of the "TypeError:..." and not your real parse error
