Readability is most important in the files you edit (i.e., the view files).
Why do you need the final HTML to be so readable? If it's for debugging, I
suppose you could always pass the output through something like Beautiful
Soup prettify()
<https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/#pretty-printing>
when in development.

Or indent everything (including the first line) in the included file but
don't indent the {{include}} in the extended view.

That would not be good default behavior because we can't always assume
leading space represents indentation. Indentation would need to be an
option triggered by some kind of flag.

I don't think so. I would suggest using an alternative templating engine,
but I don't think others (e.g., Django, Jinja2, Mako) provide this option
either (solutions I've seen require you to specify the indentation level,
somewhat defeating the purpose).
You could probably write a function to add the indentation, but it would
have to be called dynamically on the included template, which would kill
the speed benefit of compiled views.
