[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-7366) FTL formatting in the whole application

["Scott Gray (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7366?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15684596#comment-15684596 ] 

Scott Gray commented on OFBIZ-7366:
-----------------------------------

I'm sorry I haven't commented sooner, I hadn't seen the tickets until now.  IMO the best way to format Freemarker template is to have separate indentation for ftl markup vs. html (or whatever language is being templated).  I strongly believe this is the best approach for readability.  Our current approach often leads to the html being incorrectly indented after being rendered and it is very difficult to discern the html structure when reading the template.

Let me know if there is any interest in this approach and I can provide a few patches of modified files to highlight how much better it is.

> There is a formatting issue in the most of FTL files in OFBiz.
> We need to format the code as per best practice to make it more readable.
