Is that something that colours WML? Yeah, glad to hear it's available for Windows too. Under Linux Kate has it and it has made it much easier.

Notepad++ ++? LOL, I still use Win95/8 and I sometimes use notepad. No plusses though. : ) Tsk, I can just imagine notepad++ sneering at my poor old notepad...

wmlindent really needs more promotion. Most people don't use it. I used to think maybe they didn't want to but I think maybe it's more that they just never heard of it.

True. WML Code is very ugly to look at without the proper indenting.

I find it harder to read unindented. Not to mention how many errors just become obvious when properly indented. Personally I don't consider it optional or cosmetic but a very useful and practical tool!

The WML plugin for Sublime Text automatically perform the indention, so I do not need wmlindent :D

You can install directly via the package manager of Sublime Text. Just look for WML.
It works on Windows 7, 8 and 10 as far as I used it.
