Research how .xml files should be previewable and add previewer for .xml files (using QDR's dataverse previewers)

[jggautier]

A Harvard Dataverse depositor wanted users to be able to preview his dataset's XML files. I asked the depositor, but could not get confirmation, if Dataverse should preview those XML files as plain text, just as it previews .txt files (e.g. https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/UBKYRU/46CLBD).

Could we investigate how users would like their XML files to be previewable, and enable that preview in Harvard Dataverse?

FWIW: Something like https://www.jqueryscript.net/other/tree-xml-viewer-formatter.html adapted with the wiki instructions at https://github.com/GlobalDataverseCommunityConsortium/dataverse-previewers/wiki/How-to-create-a-previewer might be a quick win. (I didn't search too hard for an XML viewer - there could be better libraries out there to start from.)

Just updating this issue: Over the past two years I think I've heard others, like @kmika11, ask about having Dataverse repositories show a preview of code files, such as XML files.
