Hello,

I accomplished a subtle change to how source output looks in browser's view-source console. It helps to quickly navigate ourselves along the lines.

Updated with keeping conditional html-comments as in

Added more tags: folders, extends, block, block_parent, smart_embed

I really like to see the code as beautiful as if no cms ever touched it

Just geeky enough :mrgreen:

If there are no downsides to this and it just looks objectively better maybe its worth merging with the main CouchCMS GitHub

Thanks, I'm still polishing it. Also, CouchCMS does its job by outputting the html mostly untouched, so stripping comments is not expected from it. It is for advanced scenarios and geeky coders who work with the source often. One downside is that this addon is always on (have to go to kfunctions to turn it off).
You are free to try it on your system as is.
