While I generally understand and agree with your argument, we are |
| 25 |
talking about problems which arise because of indention adding |
| 26 |
whitespaces in front. That means the effective content to read is much |
| 27 |
shorter. Plus it is markup so we have a significant portion of the |
| 28 |
line being semi-important to read. |
