I'd second this design - it would be relatively easy to make a filter which stripped out whitespace between TMPL tags and normal text, based on some sort of rules. That way, your templates look good, and your html output looks good. For what its worth: our company strips all irrelevant whitespace, as well as html and javascript comments from our HTML based reports -> this usually results in a 30% reduction in the resulting HTML; we then use mod_gzip for a further bandwidth reduction. Mathew PS. if a filter is written to accomodate this requirement, please forward it to me so that I can add it to the other filters in the H::T:Filters package. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ Html-template-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/html-template-users
