Found this in "man bash"
If the redirection operator is <<-, then all leading tab characters are
stripped from input lines and the line containing delimiter. This
allows here-documents within shell scripts to be indented in a natural
fashion.
So you can keep your nice tidy indenting as long as you use <<-EOF instead of <<EOF. You're still not allowed trailing spaces though and you're also not allowed to use leading spaces for your indentation - tabs only!
Good one. have to do some searching then for the <<EOF stuff, this might explain some of the other errors?
