I think the main problem with that is HTML::Template::Pro's extremely odd
syntax and very limited capabilities (which, despite their professed
reasons, do _not_ make the templates parsable by a XML/HTML parser or
validatable with a DTD except for simple cases). That is a whole other
tangent, though.

As far as tabs/spaces go, the de facto standard that I know of is 4 spaces
per indent level. This seems to be reflected in the code, and I think we
should put it on
http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:codingguidelines .
