Well, I have little idea actually of Windows stuff, when I fire
up my winbox, I don't even know how to stop notepad from showing
source in a line and not wrapping, IE uses it to display
source... quite infuriating. I either make a note of what I need
to do to to fix IE6 representation of my work and wait to get
back to my Mac or else right-click on something or other and try
to see the source in WordWrap (which is fine). I assume that
Windows folk know how at least to make NP wrap, there is little
that I would want beyond this. I have a habit of eschewing
indents (though now and then when I see it done well, I think,
maybe I should try it again... looks nice and easy to read. The
trouble is that no indenting is easier to edit... trust me on
this.
