I'm not sure how good of an idea this is. What about the casual user that might want to have a stab at figuring out where something is going wrong, for example? Such a user may not have firebug.
Bye, Rouslan
It's mostly older parts of the codebase that are using "\n", so this casual user already has this problem.
For esthetic reasons I prefer to use the "\n", the produced html looks cleaner and better structured. It's a bit like using a coding style (indentation, ...) to have readable code.
Dieter, aren't you using Firebug to look at the HTML?
I've used it before (or something similar), especially when I need to tinker with some layout and css. On my Windows box at work I have the TidyHTML plugin installed, which kicks in when you look at the HTML source. So far this fulfilled my needs, but I guess it will be a usefull tool when reviewing Rouslan's code this summer. ;)
