Since we're consensus building or whatever the fancy term is, another +1. Mainly for comments, since {# #} is far, far more readable than {% comment %}{% endcomment %} even with syntax highlighting, but also for other tags too, particularly long i18n ones -- or even relatively short ones where you have complex nested HTML and have indented yourself against a wall, but are coding to a style which insists on a hard right margin, no exceptions.
Soft word wrapping isn't the best option, since you can produce a much clearer result through manual line breaks and alignment than your editor can through wrapping at the last word on the line. This is a tiny change which would make many people's lives easier. I'm very surprised at Django, with the whole "batteries included" thing, deliberately withholding a feature for aesthetic reasons. When did you turn into GNOME? ;-) Please reconsider. - ojno On 24 February 2012 10:29, Ivan Kharlamov <the.paper....@gmail.com> wrote: > On 02/24/2012 01:29 PM, Chris Northwood wrote: > > A +1 from me too, I've really felt the pain on this when doing i18n > > templates, I understand the aesthetics, but the aesthetics of > > obscenely long tags is also bad imo... > > > > On 24 February 2012 09:23, Shawn Milochik <shawn.m...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 4:19 AM, Bradley Ayers <bradley.ay...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >>> > >>> In the interest of making the wider community opinion heard, I too am > +1 on this, my feeling is exactly the same as Stephen. > >>> > >>> -- > >> > >> +1 > >> > >> I understand that a BDFL has spoken and this change isn't going to > >> happen.
