What if I don't even want a single space character?
I suppose I could write my own filter, or I could do it like this:
[% "The cat sat on the mat" FILTER remove('\s+') %]
(from the filters docpage)

Hm... Wrap everything with the collapse filter:
[% FILTER collapse %]
Your content here
[% END %]
See the Template::Filters perldoc.
collapse
"collapse" replaces any amount of whitespace with a
single space character. "collapse" uses Perl's defi-
nition of whitespace, which includes spaces, tabs,
carriage returns, newlines, and a few more esoteric
characters.
[% FILTER collapse %]
You'll love
it, it's a way
of life.
[% END %]
The output is nice and clean:
You'll love it, it's a way of life.
