Here's what I do to make code mixed with HTML in PSP files manageable. Your
mileage may vary...
What I do is indent "code" lines (the <%%> blocks) independently from the
HTML indentation. Also, I only use a single line of code in a <% %> block,
keep it to a single line, and never have a code block and HTML on the same
line. The exception is a multi-line chunk of code at the top of the file
for setup.
The <%= %> blocks are indented with the HTML, not the code, because they
represent output, not control flow.
For example:
<%
Multi line setup code
goes here
%>
<div>
<table>
<%for i in range(10):%>
<tr>
<%for j in range(10):%>
<td>
<%=i%>,<%=j%>
</td>
<%end%>
</tr>
<%end%>
</table>
</div>
Notice how the "code" as defined by the <%%> blocks is indented
independently of the HTML, which is typically much more deeply nested than
the code.
This might look messy in plain text, but if you use a syntax highlighting
editor that makes the <%%> blocks stand out, then it's easy to see the code
structure and the HTML structure at the same time.
