Hi Mark, I completely agree that the filter option is an excellent feature, but I'm not certain it is the right feature to use for stripping linefeeds. I am dealing with the formatting of a lot of plain text in <pre> and <p> tags. In most cases, there are linefeeds inbetween those tags that I don't want to remove. While I *could* write code to handle that, that may not be the best approach... I havn't looked into the H:T code too much, but I would imagine its doing some sort of tokenizing of the template before switching out the TMPL tags. Why go through the trouble of re-tokenizing the data in a filter to isolate <p> and <pre> from getting stripped if its an option that could be more easily added to H:T? I think the additional whitespace is also unexpected behavior. If I write: <TMPL_IF QUANTITY> <TMPL_VAR AMOUNT> <TMPL_ELSE> None </TMPL_IF> the output I expect is: "None" not: " None " Be flexible in what you accept and rigid in what you produce.
