in reply to Tidy for Template Toolkit Files

Template Toolkit files are of course an ungainly --but performant-- marriage between HTML-code and TT-code and it is my experience that most of the time any pretty-formatting of the HTML-code makes the TT-code unreadable and vice-versa.

Of course, TT-files are not limited to HTML (I use them a lot to write LaTeX documents) but any mixture of different languages will always be awkward.

Oh, and Template::Plugin::PerlTidy is not made for pretty-printing TT-files. Rather it will pretty-print Perl-code in web-pages.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
