Re: Newline stripping in templates: the dnl way

Agreed. When I started using Django templates I was very surprised at
the output I was seeing.
After a while I realised that the thing that suprised me was that
newlines were being output for what I considered to be just
'directives' -- that is, lines that contained tags, not content. For
example, {% if %} and {% endif %} tags on lines by themselves.
Honestly, my use case then was to make my HTML look pretty, so was
able to let it go pretty easily. Recently however I used the template
system to produce an email with a textual pricing table, and there the
lack of easy whitespace control hurt there.
Would it be feasible to add some logic, something along the lines of:
"Template lines containing just tags with no literal content do not
produce a line in the output (unless of course the tag itself
produces one)"
After all, new lines are easy to add, but currently painful to suppress...
Cheers,
Leon

A actual patch for the exactly the behaviour I had in mind. Why was it not commited for 1.3 or 1.4? From my perspective it's a big win, and reading the bug notes, the issues -- backwards combatibility, docs, tests -- seem to have been addressed. It looks like a lot of work looks went into this patch, why did it stall? Leon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.

I realised after posting that my question was particularly poorly timed, given where we are in the release cycle. I apologise for that -- I was overcome with excitement to find that somebody had already written the patch I wanted! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
