Well, there is always the :preserve filter if you need complicated
whitespace stuff.
I think the syntax for whitespace-less tags will be putting a pipe at
end of the tag, but before "=" or "~". For example:
%a{:href => "/whatever"}|
Stuff
Generates
<a href="/whatever">Stuff</a>
And
%pre= "foo\nbar\nbaz"
Generates
<pre>foo
bar
baz</pre>
Sound good to everyone?
