Hi, Noah... out of curiosity (and to further help the cause), is there an online reference for that rule? Perhaps I've read too many "citation needed" comments in Wikipedia to let this one go. :-) I did some searching, but couldn't find a definitive, explicit mention.) Also, is your patch for this available online, too? I suspect it hasn't made the switch into Jira (I couldn't find it there.) If not, this might be the motivation I need to start reading some Erlang code and try to figure out what to edit on my own. :-) > * Pretty printing the data, which is nice but should not be the default I agree. :-) I'm more than fine letting pretty printing be a client issue. It was a small annoyance not having it in there, but the work-around solution is easy enough with Python, Ruby, or Bash... but I figured I'd post anyway... making the easy solution search-engine-findable now. :-) Lastly, not everything is "unpretty" by default right now. For example, when viewing "/_all_docs", the current one-doc-per-line printing *is* the pretty solution in that case. :-) - Jason
