I know that dashes let you adjust newlines, but I can't figure out where to
put dashes to get the result I want.
I tried adding dashes like this:
{{ f(x) -}}
{{ f(x) | indent(0) -}}
{{ f(x) | indent(4) -}}
That works for the first macro call, but for the second and third:
- The empty list case is fine (I get zero lines of output)
- The non-empty list case is messed up. I get fewer newlines than I need.
I basically just want a macro to show the elements of a list, one per
line. Any way to do that?
