Template engine
Juanjo Conti
have noticed something: if the first line of my template is a {%load
... %} tag then the result has a withe like at the to of it. This is
not a problem in html, the common use of the tempalte engine, but is
fatal in a rtf file.
I write this because I think that this behaibour should bi fixed, am I right?
Anyway I have putted the load tag in the second line of my tempalte :)

line as something else.
I'm not familiar with the RTF format, but to eliminate the blank line at
the top of an html file, you would do this:
{% load ... %}<html>
instead of
{% load ... %}
<html>
Hopefully this helps!

Template's white space handling is one of the few things that irks me
about Django. I hate having to make confusing formating, jamming stuff
all on the same line just to get white space correct.
I really wish it had some whitespace handling tools like Cheetah

The spaceless tag helps sometimes, but not for your situation.

If there is a particular whitespace-eating behaviour that you would
like, you could always implement it yourself in a template tag. If you
think the template tag could be useful for others, you can share it on
djangosnippets.org, or open a ticket to have the tag considered for
inclusion in Django itself.
If what you're proposing can't be done in a template tag, we're always
open to suggestions on how to make Django better. Put down your ideas
in a ticket, and we'll consider it.

desirable for all template tags?
Maybe only tags that are common to be at the top of a template file
could have this enhancement to erase whitespace between them and the
next real tag in the template?
It seems to me that if certain template tags are going to be present
at the top of a template file, and it would help their ease of use to
have trailing whitespace removed then those tags should be treated a
little differently than other tags.
Just my $.02

What I'm use to is less of particular tag and more of a change to how
all tags/templates work. In short, lines in templates that have only
tags should be "invisible" i.e. they should not be in the output of that
template.
If after doing tag processing a line(that had 1+ tags to begin with)
consists of nothing but whitespace then eliminate that line, including
it's new line.
line numbers for ref:
1: <foo>{% if bar %}bar{% endif %}
2: {% for i in list %}
3: i
4: {% if False %}</foo><foo>{% endif %}
5: {% endfor %}
6: </foo>
which now creates something like this when bar=False, list=[1,2]
1:<foo>
2:
3: 1
4:
3: 2
4:
5:
6:</foo>
instead outputs this
1:<foo>
3: 1
3: 2
6:</foo>
But this is a backwards incompatible change, a minor issue, and with
effort it's possible to work around this issue just not beautifully
(which contrasts with the rest of Django).
Other stuff is higher priority and the real problem with Django is

sound complainy in previous post, if anyone took it that way.

If the '-' was present as part of the tag closure token, the template processor would eat the next 1-2 characters only if they were a CR or CR/LF.
Although I suppose this might cause problems for some tags that had begin/end pairs,
