I have been using two approaches when producing output formats where extra
newlines are not allowed.
Either I leave them inside tags like...
<%@ whatever...
%><%@ whatever..
%>Here goes the first line of output
...or using comments like...
<%@ whatever... %><%--
--%><%@ whatever... %><%--
--%>Here goest the first line of output
I have to admit this is not very elegant so I would be happy to know of
any cleaner alternatives.
