I use this filter:
our $line_merger = sub {
my $text_ref = shift;
# Removes HTML comment style format from the tags (so that next regex
works)
$$text_ref =~ s/<!--\s*(~?\/?TMPL_.+?)\s*-->/<$1>/gis;
# "Cleans" tags in such a way that it removes the space characters
and ~ (so if there is no ~ it does not
# remove anything)
$$text_ref =~ s/(?:\n[
\t]*(?=<~))?<~?(\/?TMPL_[^>~]+)~?(\/?)>(?:(?:(?<=~\/>)|(?<=~>))[
\t]*\n)?/<$1$2>/gis;
};
The idea is that I can use ~ character to specify that I want newline removed.
For example:
<~TMPL_VAR NAME="foo"~>
will remove newline before and after the tag (if there is any).
In most cases I use only second ~ as this efficiently (in most
template uses) removes all newlines after the tags and so there are no
empty lines in the output.
