Comments need to be indented in the pretty version, with no newlines removed
OR ADDED. In my original post I said that when there's only ONE comment the
pretty version inserts an extra blank line after it (which thus detaches the
comment from the following block - defeating it's purpose), thus
<!-- comment describing purpose of following para-->
<p>Markup here</p>
instead of
<!-- comment describing purpose of following para -->
<p>Markup here</p>
unless the blank line is added BEFORE the paragraph block which follows the
comment? In this case the prettying function needs to recognize that the
previous tag was a comment and NOT insert the extra blank line.
