[Koha-devel] what does everyone use to indent/beautify their TMPL files?

Thu Nov 9 14:41:07 CET 2006

I've been playing with tidy to clean up my template files, but I find that
in files that are missing some tags like <html> and <head> (because they are
included in a seperate file), tidy creates them even though I don't want it
to. Have you experienced that?
