Can I just make a quick point on the whole whitespace issue. Velocity provides you with a couple of ways to handle your own output. For example using String writers etc...I use a really nice set of classes called JTidy for HTML output, you can run your output through that and create perfectly tidy HTML (and valid if your designer isn't so talented). There is also nothing to stop you from writing your own cleaner for other languages where an implementation isn't already there. I can understand why people want these features in velocity, Yes it would be handy, yes it should be added as enough people want it, but I'm not sure it's as critical as many people make it out to be (i could be wrong). You are given methods to allow you to run the output through what ever classes you want. The only time where this may not work is when your doing servlets with the old VelocityServlet (i still don't use VelocityViewServlet yet so the option maybe available in that too).
