Hi,

Can you change the "CustomHTML" tag textarea font to "monospace" to get better code readability?

Thank you,

This is a nice suggestion, thank you Ronan.
I did a quick check internally whether we could roll this out for all places in Matomo where there is code (for example where the tracking code is shown), but I understand there's no global CSS that spans all of them.

With that in mind, I'm hesitant to make this change now because it'll introduce an improvement in a small area, but further inconsistency and technical debt across the wider platform. To implement it platform wide however, would be more work because we'd have to adjust a number of tests across the platform, QA that no places are forgotten, potentially realign a few things, etc. Unfortunately, I don't think that'll happen in the short term.

You're of course welcome to make a PR and we'll look at it. Otherwise, we'll keep it in the backlog and it'll be considered again in the future.

As always, keen to read any thoughts 👍

Hi Stan,

Thank you for your response,
Maybe using some utility classes will allow you to add this feature step by step without breaking your workflow?
No worries for this add-on, it will remain available to OnPremise users through Tag Manager Extended plugin

Best,
Ronan

@ronan-helloYou can add below css in TagManagerExtended plugin and that should do the work.

textarea#customHtml {
    font-family: monospace, monospace;
}

Hi,

I already added to the plugin before creating this issue, with some enhancement on several tags.

Thank you
Ronan
