Also, only *some* of the whitespace is significant. The whitespace inside <> is not. That leaves open the possibility of something like this: <foo bar="1">< baz bam="2' />< /foo> Which at least has the virtue of wrapping ln less than 80 columns. I frequently format things this way, but I'm sure not everyone will agree that that is more readable. C On 9/27/06, Samuel Reynolds <sam@spinwardstars.com> wrote:

Erm - yes. Because your template has whitespace in it. Remove it and it should work - that is:

<label>label:<select name="a_name" n:render="sequence" n:data="a_list"><option n:pattern="item">...

Ok, but I would like to have a readable template... This is the reason why I'm asking if it is possible to remove extra

Maybe do a simple regex cleanup before you use the template. Something like the following, which removes whitespace between

...

and <, if the whitespace begins with a newline:

import re ... RE_removeFreeWhitespace = re.compile( r'>[\n\r]+\s*<' ) def removeFreeWhitespace( S ): return RE_removeFreeWhitespace.sub( r'><', S ) ... templateString = removeFreeWhitespace( templateString )
