8. Bugzilla Hacking
8. Bugzilla Hacking+ Gerv and Myk suggest a 2-space endent, with embedded code sections on + their own line, in line with outer tags. Like this:
<fred> +[% IF foo %] + <bar> + [% FOREACH x = barney %] + <tr> + <td> + [% x %] + </td> + <tr> + [% END %] +[% END %] +</fred> +Myk also recommends you turn on PRE_CHOMP in the template + initialization to prevent bloating of HTML with unnecessary whitespace. +
Please note that many have differing opinions on this subject, + and the existing templates in Bugzilla espouse both this and a 4-space + style. Either is acceptable; the above is preferred.
