merging

When merging DCRs the interface the xml code of the DCRs is compared, in one single line. This is not user friendly and surely not for non-technical users who requested the templates.
Is it possible to configure the merge window to use the templating interface while comparing.

No that is not currently possible.

It is possible, though, to turn on pretty-printing of DCRs, so that they span multiple lines in the file. That is significantly easier to merge, though probably still not as good a merge-specific version of the Templating GUI could be.

How do you turn on pretty-printing of DCRs?

There is some iw.cfg setting to turn on pretty-printing. The switch was added in some patch or service pack. Sorry, I don't remember which. Tech Support could figure it out for you.

iw.cfg

[teamsite_templating]

#Uncomment and set the following key to true to use pretty printing of DCRs.
#pretty_print_dcrs=false

Note - once you set this option - you might need to do an iwreset -ui (questionable) - but you will have to re-save a pre-existing DCR in order to see it change from one-line to multi-line format. New DCRs created after you've made this change will automatically be saved accordingly.

Actually I did an iwreset and saved a DCR and the XML format doesn't look any prettier.

You did an 'iwreset' or an 'iwreset -ui' or an 'iwreset -a' ?
And you modified the "right" iw.cfg file (i.e. if on Solairs, it's /etc/iw.cfg - not iw-home/etc/iw.cfg)
And you modified the DCR and saved it? (I think if you just open it and click Save it doesn't re-save the DCR)
