Description of the need
I'm developing a site, both functionally and with appearance that makes some of its data available as a CSV using views_data_export. I often have theme_debug switched on which then breaks the CSV. This is less an issue for production but it can be a pain in development if the service using the CSV then breaks.
Proposed solution
(A) An optional boolean override for the theme function in core/includes/theme.inc that is then checked here:
https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop/blob/6e7b4cc0fabf6040def143c38b88b4...
(B) A documented way for developers to list all templates or calling modules that should be excluded from theme_debug. The theme.inc will then test that in addition to checking the theme_debug setting
Alternatives that have been considered
Describe alternatives you've considered. Have you seen this work in a better way in another CMS?
I created a small hack of theme.inc to test if this principle could work
if ($theme_debug && strpos($info['template'],'views-data-export')>0) {
$output = _theme_render_template_debug($render_function, $template_file, $variables, $extension);
}
This worked but hacking core files is not going to be a sustainable solution and I can't see that this is possible to override in a hook.
The alternative is to switch theme_debug on and off all the time either using Devel or settings.php/settings.local.php
Possibly modules could switch the setting off and on again but that may cause other issues
Is there a Drupal or Backdrop contributed module that accomplishes this? ...if so, then please provide a link.
Additional information
Add any other information or screenshots that would help.
Draft of feature description for Press Release (1 paragraph at most)
Backdrop now includes the ability for developers to disable theme_debug for particular modules or templates, for example, if using Views Data Export.

I'm better at finding bugs rather than fixing them! A bit close to the edge of my knowledge and I wouldn't want to on a live site as I don't have a alternative available at the moment...

Thanks for filing the bug Mike. https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/7017 I've added a pull request. You can test it in the sandbox if you're not comfortable applying...
View Title Slightly Skewed
You can insert the leaflet view in the footer of the other one. The footer settings allow you to insert another view there, and even share the filter
have a view show contents in table and leaflet format simultaneously.
