All editors display something other than what is actually there, to
some degree... :-)
That said...
The problem with the editor auto-indenting lines that aren't indented
is what to do with lines that ARE indented...
True Source:
$email = EOM
This is a paragraph that has been indented and
hard line-wrapped with something not unlike:
<http://php.net/wordwrap>
http://php.net/wordwrap
and has had URLs embedded in ways to make sure ALL
email clients will present at least ONE clickable link,
even the dreaded AOL 4.0
Yes, I still have code that is hanging around
from when AOL 4.0 was "new".
Sorry.
EOM;
So what would your nifty editor do with that?
Indent it to match PHP indenting, and then add the whitespace of the
actual message?
I think that might "work" well, though lead to a lot of un-readable
right-shifted long text lines instead of the "ugly" indentation.
One think you could consider to avoid the ugliness is to put the
heredoc into a one-use function or in an incldue file that doesn't
have enough indenting for it to look ugly in the first place. :-)
