PrettyPrint in WAHtmlDocument

Hi,

i've had a look at WAPrettyPrintedDocument and was surprised that it
didn't actually produce formatted HTML Source, but an HTML Document that
contained HTML Formatted Source.

Are there plans to add a PrettyPrintingDocument so that the HTML that is
sent to the browser looks better? Firebug already formats the HTML into
a tree, but if you want to add breakpoints to inline JavaScript, you're
a bit screwed, as the whole document is one single line.

Maybe the it could be something along the lines of PTDevelopmentLibrary
and PTDeploymentLibrary but for the HtmlDocument like
WADevelopmentHtmlDocument and WADeploymentHtmlDocument.

Kind Regards
Karsten

There are no plans, but it should be easily possible. The problem is
that pretty printing HTML changes the way it is displayed in
web-browsers.

You can set breakpoints using the Firebug Command Line API:

Yeah, the earliest versions of Seaside 2.x did do this but it was a
nightmare trying to avoid putting whitespace in places that impacted
the layout. We eventually removed it; it no longer seemed necessary
anyway once browsers could display formatted source.
