Readability is most important in the files you edit (i.e., the view files). Why do you need the final HTML to be so readable? If it's for debugging, I suppose you could always pass the output through something like Beautiful Soup prettify() <https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/#pretty-printing> when in development. > I could get a right end result if I manually indent every other than first > line > Or indent everything (including the first line) in the included file but don't indent the {{include}} in the extended view. > In my opinion, include statement should work so that it preserves the > original indentation.

I would suggest using an alternative templating engine, but I don't think others (e.g., Django, Jinja2, Mako) provide this option either (solutions I've seen require you to specify the indentation level, somewhat defeating the purpose). You could probably write a function to add the indentation, but it would have to be called dynamically on the included template, which would kill the speed benefit of compiled views.
