[Nevow] how to generate XHMTL without whitespaces
Hi. Is it possible (and how) to generate XHTML documents without extra whitespaces? Thanks Manlio Perillo

No pun intended, just being curious: Do you want that feature for something else than saving a small amount of bandwidth? I would prefer generation of properly-indented XHTML as an option, which helps debugging -- but one can always call tidylib from the renderHTTP() method ;-) Cheers, -- There are 2 kinds of people in my world: those who know Unix, Perl, Vim, GNU, Linux, etc, and those who know COBOL.

No, I want this feature to avoid possible problems with whitespaces.

No, please. This can kill the server... Regards Manlio Perillo

Now I see the point... and now I realize that feature would make some of my template more readable. Unfortunately I don't know how to generate code without whitespaces, sorry :-\

Of course performance would be like a pain in the ass, but I sometimes do that when checking generated code «by hand», but *only* when debugging ;-P Cheers, -- I'd like to meet the man who invented sex and see what he's working on now. -- "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want" -- (Dan Stanford)

Whitespace IS SIGNIFICANT in xhtml. You cannot just add it anywhere you want, like in prior versions of HTML In answer to the original posters question, stan and appropriately formatted disk xhtml templates work in my experience? What exactly is not working?

Is this a question? ;-)

One "problem" is with <n:invisible>: this template: <label>label: <select name="a_name" n:render="sequence" n:data="a_list"> <option n:pattern="item"> <n:invisible n:render="string" n:data="0" /> <n:attr name="label" n:render="string" n:data="1" /> </option> </select> </label> gives a: <label>label: <select name="a_name"><option label="a_label"> 1 </option><option label="another_label"> 2 </option></select> </label> I'm not having problems (now), I was just curious.

gives a:

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 extra whitespaces. Regards Manlio Perillo
