What I meant was that if you edit the HTML rather than use the GUI, the HTML is all bunched up and not spaced out so that it is easy to read for those of us out there that are rookies and will struggle anyway.
Sorry that I was not that clear the first time.
The layout is up to you. Space it out as you want.
If you use the GUI editor it will probably screw up the layout completely, it certainly won't produce something easy to follow if you then go back and play with the HTML.
It's one of the reasons that I never feel really comfortable writing HTML, there seems to be no really elegant way to format it. (I'm used to C/C++/Java which generally can be laid out elegantly)
Cue a 'how to format HTML' flame fest! :-) (I hope not)
*GRIN* - nicely, the GUI editor if you edit the source and do things that you couldn't do in the Edit (Text) style (i.e. things that it can't translate back in to wiki syntax) on a save it strips it out...
Probably the best idea is to remove the "Source" link from the GUI editor, and either mark things up in MoinMoin wiki syntax or use the GUI editor, but avoid editing the "HTML" because that's really quite broken.
(In theory the HTML could be run through tidy before it's displayed which would make it more editable - but this is a wiki, wiki syntax wins generally, and is easier for other people to modify later).
Just my 2p,
