I’m glad this issue is being worked out. Although just a stylistic issue for English (and other languages that use spaces between words), this is a much more serious (IMHO) problem for languages that don’t use spaces between words, such as Chinese. In effect we are forced to either forego source code readability by writing entire paragraphs on a single line, or use HTML comments, neither of which is really a satisfactory solution. > ~TJ > -- cheers, -ambrose <http://gniw.ca>
