I think this discussion is focusing on template tags, not template
variables. Maybe even a subset of template tags (e.g. block level tagsif,
for, block, filter, etc). Template variables and inline tags (e.g. now)
shouldn't have white space stripped.
In 100% of cases I can think of I either wouldn't care (in HTML templates)
or I would want lines that only contain block level tags and no actual
content removed from the rendered output of the template.
The only time I would explicitly NOT want this to happen is when I have an
existing template where white space matters and it has been carefully
crafted to work around Django's white space issues. I think SmileyChris'
solution from the ticket is the way to go, but in a backwards compatible
way. Make it opt-in with a new template tag, similar to the way auto
escaping is handled, and optionally a deprecation path that will make this
the default eventually.
I don't think anyone has suggested stripping ALL white space around ALL
template tags, or even ANY template variables.
Cheers.
Tai.
