Whoops, mis-send, sorry.

So embedded tabs are translated in to two unicode character "\" and
"t"? The same for newlines? This seems odd, as html condenses white
space.  Is the a specific
reason for this behaviour? Say I have a paragraph like so:

[tab][tab]<p>Some fluff text with a reference to a $variable and then
a newline[enter]
[tab][tab]and then more indented text some</p>

Now, I would have thought that you don't want the tab/newline
characters to be translated to literal "\t" and "\n" strings in there,
you want the actual tab or newline character, which can be ignored by
the browser happily. Am I wrong? Is this because kid templates are
xml, not html? I have been using the same templates for a few weeks
no, and only come across this problem recently.

When I grab the page using wget, get a utf encoded html file with the
literal strings "\t" and "\n".

If I put a tab or newline in to the welcome text on a line containing
a $var ref in, yes it does. I actually first noticed when using the
toolbox widgets page, not my own application. I then noticed it in my
stuff, having been using tg for a couple of months now, and never
having seen anything like this before.

Thanks for all your help! I may be missing something simple here...
