How about Plugins - XML Tools - Pretty Print (XML only - with line breaks)? Default shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+B. This should make your XML very readable.

If you don't find the plugin you want to use (eg.: XML Tools), just add it by clicking:

Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Show Plugin Manager

Find, select and install it. When you re-open Notepad++, it'll be listed under the Plugins menu. After that, do what they've already said: Plugins -> XML Tools -> Pretty Print (XML only - with line breaks)

You will need TextFX plugin.

Then go for:

TextFX -> TextFX HTML Tidy -> Tidy: reindent XML

Better option is:

Plugins -> XML Tools -> Linarize XML
