Re: Question about formatting ftl macros with embedded html code

[Scott Gray]

Hi Jacopo

Have you had a look at any of the stuff here: http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/docs/dgui_misc_whitespace.html ?

It might be possible to find the best of both worlds.

What is the best way to format the code of a Fremarker macro containing embedded html code, used to implement the widget renderers?

Let's consider, for example:



Should we try to format it to maximize its readibility? For example:

<#macro renderFieldTitle style title>
   <#if style?has_content>
       <span class="${style}">
   </#if>
   ${title}
   <#if style?has_content>
       </span>
   </#if>
</#macro>




 ${title}
<#if style?has_content></span></#if></#macro>



Jacopo

<#macro renderFieldTitle style title><#if style?has_content><span class="${style}"></#if>${title}<#if style?has_content></span></#if></ #macro> Or should we format it so that the generated code (html) is more readable? For example: <#macro renderFieldTitle style title><#if style?has_content><span class="${style}"></#if> I am trying to improve the new widget macro libraries and I am not sure how to proceed.
