I realise there are plenty of cases where zero spaces is important and significant. I've got no issue with the validity of the motivation behind the change. That wasn't the question you asked, though. :-) [...] > > > 3) Whatever the default value is, is there a need for configurability > > > of the number of spaces provided by this tag? > > Ok - initial opinion appears to be anti configurability and anti > changing the default.

I'll change my opinion to "don't care" so that it doesn't matter. Two tags feels like at least one too many. There comes a point when catering to every corner-case isn't worth it when a custom tag is three lines of code and/or a quick trip to django snippets away. I've now written two more mails than I would have thought I ever wanted to write about this. I don't care enough for it to worry me whichever way we go. There are going to be more significant changes than this prior to 1.0. I'm probably not the right person to be pitching arguments or playing devil's advocate, since I don't have enough motivation. :) Malcolm --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
