Let me make sure I've got this right --- The situation being discussed is not where whitespace is insignificant and can be stripped, but where whitespace is important and you want to control the exact amount of it, e.g. plain text emails. In this case, just using stripwhitespace is not enough. Righ

Re: Newline stripping in templates: the dnl way

I think this discussion is focusing on template tags, not template variables. Maybe even a subset of template tags (e.g. block level tagsif, for, block, filter, etc). Template variables and inline tags (e.g. now) shouldn't have white space stripped. In 100% of cases I can think of I either woul

Re: Newline stripping in templates: the dnl way

Adding more symbols to existing tags (e.g. {^ for x in y ^} or {% for x in y -%}), multi-line comment tags that don't actually include a comment, and half baked comment tags (where the closing tag is assumed) are all going to make templates uglier, and harder to read. The comment tag based solutio

Jinja implements whitespace control by putting a minus sign after/before the % in a tag - http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/templates/#whitespace-control - I haven't tried it myself, but it looks like {% tag -%} is equivalent to your {% tag %}{# . On 24 February 2012 17:37, Tobia wrote: > Tai Lee wrot

Re: Newline stripping in templates: the dnl way

I definitely want to see a resolution to this issue. Django templates when white space matters (e.g. plain text emails) are painful. But, I don't think adding {# to the end of lines is easy to understand at a glance, it doesn't even convey a hint of meaning like "dnl" does, but either option is pre

Hi all, regarding issue #2594 "Template system should handle whitespace better" explaining the need for some kind of (optional) whitespace stripping from the output of templates, I've been looking at the proposed solutions and compared them to other template and macro engines. In particular, a his
