# from xml Parse text as `.xml` and create table. Use this when nushell cannot determine the input file extension. Syntax: `from xml` ## Examples Let's say we've got a file in `xml` format but the file extension is different so Nu can't auto-format it: ```shell > open world.txt <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <world> <continent>Africa</continent> <continent>Antarctica</continent> <continent>Asia</continent> <continent>Australia</continent> <continent>Europe</continent> <continent>North America</continent> <continent>South America</continent> </world> ``` We can use `from xml` to read the input like a `xml` file: ```shell > open world.txt | from xml ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ world ──────────────── [table 7 rows] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ```
