To me this looks still somewhat hacky.
Couldn't a simple keyword be added at the the end of a template string?
So it would be something like this:
var a = `This is a template string.
Even though each line is indented to keep the
code neat and tidy, the white space used to indent
is not in the resulting string` keepindentation;
This would explicitly keep the spaces at the beginning of each line while
without the keyword they would be removed. Of course the keyword may also
indicate the opposite depending on parsing would be chosen as default.
Surely the name for this keyword is not optimal yet and would need to be
discussed.
