Package: ikiwiki
Version: 1.26
Severity: normal

It would be good if I could do something like

a[[template id=a]]b

where templates/a.mdwn contains

=== cut ===
a
=== cut ===

and have it come out as:

aab

unfortunately, ikiwiki appears to see the whitespace at the end of the
file (standard unix convention says all text files must end with a
newline), and the result is displayed as:

aa b

instead.

This is important, because in my situation I want to the following to
work:

text text text ([[template id=Source author=... title=... url=...
etc]]).

However, ikiwiki is likely to put whitespace before the last bracket.
This in turn allows the HTML browser to split the bracket onto a new
line and looks very messy.

Is it possible, perhaps for ikiwiki to ignore the newline at the end of
a template file?

(I think mediawiki does something like this - at least the previous
example works fine in mediawiki)

Thanks.
