Description Marc Véron 2016-04-29 09:16:49 UTC
There are a lot of tab chars in
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/tags/review.tt 
The file should be re-formatted to replace them following the coding guidelines.

The staff client templates are full of tab characters, so I don't think we should file bugs for each one. My understanding of the general practice regarding indentation is:

- Always remove tab characters from lines which are changed by your patches.

- If you want to make other changes to whitespace or indentation, submit a separate patch.

Submitting whitespace fixes is always going to create merge problems for pending patches, so we should check http://splitter.koha-community.org for pending patches.

It would be interesting if the splitter tool could show a list of templates which have /no/ patches in the queue. Those would be great candidates for whitespace fix patches.

Owen is right stating that we decided a while ago not to clean files globally to avoid conflicts. Tab cleaning is a bit less difficult than perltidy, as it does keep the lines the same and you can use -w to not see whitespace changes.
