Comment:
Currently the {% spaceless %} tag does what is documented: it removes all
spaces.
#8123 discusses customizing its behavior for certain tags (inline vs.
block); it was rejected by two core developers. The bottom line is that if
you do not want to remove all spaces, you just shouldn't use {% spaceless
%}.
In my opinion, the behavior is intentional, so I will close the ticket as
wontfix.
PS1 : your idea was briefly mentioned here:
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3532#comment:10 but not discussed
further.
PS2 : for the record, here is the history of the {% spaceless %} tag:
- introduced with #1067, really spaceless
- changed with #1227, collapses several whitespace characters to a space
- changed back with #3532, really spaceless again after a discussion on
the mailing-list: http://www.mail-archive.com/django-
develop...@googlegroups.com/msg09235.html
