Hi. I like to have whitespace (newlines, spaces, etc) in my template to seperate html and web.py code, but this white space, specifically new lines, also outputs to html. This is mostly just annoying but occasionaly causes a problem as below:
I have a template that starts thus: $def with (search="", tabs_list="", people="", dept="", funder="", pub="", ra="", numFound="") <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "xhtml1- transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> ...etc... The problem here is that the newline after the initial $def gets output to the html but the html specification states that the !DOCTYPE must be on the first line. I'd be happy to add a comment mark at the start of this line (as below) but this also causes the newline to be output. $def with (search="", tabs_list="", people="", dept="", funder="", pub="", ra="", numFound="") $# <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "xhtml1- transitional.dtd"> Is there a way to supress this line somehow? (I also tried adding the '\' character but I guess it just assumes this is part of the comment) Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
