Smarty

[b.legt210]

while useing comments or foreach-loops in templates, smarty "loses" linebreaks in output. Didn't understand a word?? so here's an example:

When you have something like this in your template:
<tab>{* TEST *}\n
<tab>Text after Comment

Smarty outputs:
<tab><tab>Text after Comment

So if you "structure" your templates, the output ist often "unreadable" because the linebreak after comments (and foreach and maybe other elements) are missing. For me it would look much better if only the comment-element (and foreach-element) would be replaced in the output BUT NOT THE FOLLOWING \n (linebreak).

The upper example should output:
<tab>\n
<tab>Text after Comment

I faced this same problem and unfortunately, even after bouncing it off some heads in #smarty, came to the conclusion that it's easiest to pass Smarty an endline. Yep, pass a text to Smarty that only contains an endline. So now I have {$N} where I want newlines explicitely at.

Far from an ideal solution, but it works. Just one of those things I never had to face till I was making a template that got passed to the user as text and not HTML.
