 From memory, try:

<%
for href, text in vars.main_menu:
     # fake indent
%>
	<li><a href="<%=href%>"><%=text%></a></li>
<%
# end of loop			
%>

If you aren't going to use a tab stop (8 spaces) of indent, you have to
provide additional hinting. Blocks of code is also better off not having
the <% %> on same lines as code.
