One thing, I don't Know if I have understood. Brandon has sayed that is
posible add a option to OpenJade to format the output. But David has sayed
tht changing the output for only a "pretty output" is not a good idea
because it can change the content. 
Have I understood? Is posible add a mew option to OpenJade? Are these
problematic whitespaces the space between the name of the TAG and ">" (I
don't think so)?

Thank and Sorry,
