Now I have to qualify my response. Removing "the linebreak from the 'end' of the template code" does appear to remove "a linebreak from the 'beginning' of the expansion when that template is transcluded'" on my personal mediawiki installation (Mediawiki 1.14.0). However, now that I have moved the Bref template to Wikibooks, this tactic seems to fail. I am getting extraneous line feeds before the template transclusion text even when I clean up the line feed as described. (If you want to see for yourself, go to User:Dnessett/Template/Bref/Examples and click on Chapter 3 in Example 4 - the extra line break causes the footnote in the header to break the header transclusion) Frankly, I am pretty confused about what is going on. There seems to be something in the template expansion code that inserts line breaks for no apparent reason. I even tried to bracket the template calls with <span style="white-space:nowrap"></span> tags (using this idea from the {{nowrap begin}} {{nowrap end}} templates on Wikipedia), but that doesn't work either. This is a pernicious problem that I am having trouble solving. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
