Empty lines in generated files

[Paul Baumer]

Hello,

I have a simple template which looks like:

% if context.bookId:

bookid: ${content.bookId}

% endif

the generated file includes 3 lines instead of (expected) 1. Hence it looks like

<empty line>

bookid: 33

<empty line>

How can I get rid of the empty lines?

Thanks,

Paul

you can put a backslash at the end of a line to suppress trailing whitespace:

http://docs.makotemplates.org/en/latest/syntax.html#newline-filters

t = Template(r"""
<foo>\
% if True:
hi there\
% endif
</foo>
""")

print t.render()
