[PATCH] Cleanup transformer





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-08-14 20:01 -------
I guess also worth noting that an alternate reason for me to write this was for 
educational purposes.  
Back in 1995, learning about the web basically involved "View Source" on a variety of 
pages.  Everyone 
used a text editor as there were no WYSIWYGs at the time.  Seeing the difference 
between good markup 
and bad markup was much much easier.  Also, once people starting heavily nesting 
tables, proper 
indentation became necessary to fix even the most minor of layout bugs.

Nowadays, if I have someone else on a project that doesn't know HTML (or XML) well, I 
can't just point 
them to pages on the Net or my own pages for that matter.  Dynamically generated pages 
typically are 
made to be readable on the code side, not the output side.  This is my answer to the 
problem.

So, once again, IndentTransformer vs. CleanupTransformer vs. MakeItPrettyTransformer 
vs. 
HowDoThoseTablesNestTransformer all do not matter to me.  I chose CleanupTransformer 
simply 
because it reflected my intent rather than IndentTransformer which reflects 
implementation.
