Well, obviously I do, or I wouldn't have asked.
only the computer will ever read that.
I didn't make myself clear. I don't just use the config on the fly in
Apache. The config file is kept around, eyeballed occasionally to check
new directives, distributed to a number of machines, used as an audit trail, etc. This could all be done without any chomping, but I'd rather not.
judicious use of [%- -%] takes care of the places where it might be important.
This time I thought I did make myself clear. I don't want something so important to require "judicious" use.
What I'm looking for is a flavor of a "chomp" option, somewhat analogous to how CHOMP_COLLAPSE targets the specific needs of HTML. Is it possible to devise a CHOMP_NOJOIN option that would just do the right thing? This is not a show-stopper for me, as my filter works fine as a workaround. It just seems conceivable that there may be a way of doing this without another pass over the entire output.
Thanks for thinking about this with me.
