Edit multiline text in Xcode's property lists

Question

I've some property lists in my Xcode project for different strings (and its localization). The strings are longer and often multi line. But in Xcode it's hard to edit those strings in one single line only. How can I expand or resize the line's height for better string editing in the Xcode IDE?

Answer 1

Inside the plist editor in Xcode, that is not possible.

What you can do, however, is to right-click on the entry in the file browser and choose "Open as > Source Code". You then see the raw XML text of the plist which is much easier to edit.

Just make sure you don't mess up the tags - otherwise Xcode will complain that it's not a valid file.
