Ah, I am not so sure. It so happens that the HTML spec allows you to ignore whitespace in many places, but that is just HTML. And yeah, I know the product is HTML::Template not Text::Template. In MVC terms HTML::Template produces a view that is reinterpreted as a model by the browser. > Adding a filter option will be a lot easier than trying to get H:T > to remove linefeeds *that you inserted*. I'm not so sure of that. In my view and I believe Alex as well, the end goal of H:T is to have a framework that takes an easy to read and maintain template and produces an easy to read and debug html page. I personally try to avoid tmpl_if statements for exactly this issue, but there are other devs on our team who have no real choice. Look, I don't want to spam people here, but you will have a hard time persuading me that behaviour that seems intuitive is actually wrong. In the meantime, I will keep using H:T because, as the kids say these days, it teh r0xors. Or something like that.
