You may get better responses on the Mako list rather than Pylons, but without further details I suspect there are a couple things you may want to do. First, when you write your templates be aware of where you may be inadvertently introducing whitespace. Make use of the end-of-line backslash syntax to suppress extra line breaks, especially when ending a Mako block. Rather than Some text <% some python code %> more text. Do something like this: Some text\ <% some python code %>\ more text. Also don't insert unnecessary blank lines if you don't need them, instead just insert a blank Mako comment line: ## Secondly, if you want to remove some whitespace by passing the output through a function prior to caching you may want to use Mako's filter mechanism. It already has a built-in filter to strip whitespace at the beginning and end. If you want something more sophisticated you can provide your own filtering function. Read up on Mako's filters: http://www.makotemplates.org/docs/filtering.html If you have a more specific example that may help to answer your question. -- Deron Meranda http://deron.meranda.us/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
