Comment:
I think much of Gabriel's suggestions here make good sense. Though:
* I think `{% load A B C %}` is OK; loading in templates is simpler than
importing in python since there are no relative imports, from x import y,
etc.
* I think 4-spaces is too much; in python, nesting can (and should) be
avoided; in HTML, deep nesting is unavoidable. I'd therefore advocate
2-space indentation or tabs (the width of which can be configured by your
editor)
I personally also indent template tags and HTML tags alike; e.g.
{{{
<ul>
{% for x in y %}
<li>{{ x }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
}}}
(though this obviously doesn't produce terribly pretty HTML, if anyone
cares. I prefer pretty templates.)
This is dangerous bikeshedding territory, but it seems sensible to have a
standard within core code, and would also allow the production of django-
template emacs modes, TextMate bundles, etc.
