I am using Swig as the template engine in my project to create XML.
To make the XML output look nice I need to add a "-
" everytime I use the template functions ({% -%}, {{ -}}, {# -#}
).
It would be nice to be able to change the default behavior to always strip whitespace before and after. Is there a setting for this already?
No, there isn't.
The stripping is done in line 624 in parser.js
:
https://github.com/paularmstrong/swig/blob/2e0e135ac04da5bf75f79cf8d4498094b3b49d35/lib/parser.js#L624
The variables stripNext
and stripPrev
are set to true only if a tag or a variable expression includes this -
. If not stripping will not be done. There is no other way.
