When we initially wrote the first templates, we did some experimenting. 
We wrote some templates in the style we wanted to use, and then tried 
PRE, POST, both and neither to see which produced the nicer-looking 
HTML. The answer was PRE.

Turning both on makes it all one line (basically), and having none 
leaves too much whitespace and general ugliness. All of the current 
templates are written such that PRE does the right thing - I don't think 
  we can change it now.

off.
