Rather than counting the white-spaces and all of that I have two suggestions: After using !xmlformat maybe you can use '<='> to align the text you previously formatted OR maybe if you use something like '<-1,'>+1!xmlformat the external program takes into consideration the surrounding lines and adapt the indentation? Otherwise if you want more details on how to accept a range in a function have a look at :h function-range-example (I'm pretty sure we have other questions about range functions too)

@statox: Yes, but you don't need to type the colon or the range, simply pressing ! directly from the visual selection will add both automatocally. (I know you know this already.)

To more precisely I think Rich means using :'<,'>!xmlformat after a visual selection: '< and '> are marks which refer to the last visually selected text.

Does simply typing !xmlformat work? If not, maybe you could edit the question to explain why. :help v_!
