[TYPO3] TypoScript Highlighting

Hi both,

Re structure and organisation, there is an argument to be for having 
everything in one place as I think that's far easier to find things then 
tons of extension templates around everywhere.

And I understand what Joey is saying about the include templates, but I 
always find that much more complex to be honest. Not only that but that 
only works if you have people that are willing to follow a set idea of 
how it should work (naming of templates even seems to get forgotten with 
some of the people I work with)

I do a similar idea to what Joey suggests in that I put things outside 
into files of typoscript that then gets included (and from what I've 
always understood gets cached as well then). So I would have one file 
for the left hand menu, and another for the breadcrumbs, etc.

Have no fear I'm not advocating having really long or verbose typoscript 
templates at present my longest one is about 800 lines (and handles an 
extremely complex site)

My question was more so that are there very specific technical reasons 
for not having a long template?
