Is there away to prevent fasttemplate from removing

Is there a way to prevent fasttemplate from removing the white spaces from a template file after parsing. I'd prefer for html debug to have the template retain all it's white spaces.

We don't see any change between the template and the result( other then the data replacement...)

If I have a template with since this forum removes white spaces I will use - as my white space for example header.html <head> ----<title>My Page</title> </head> when you view the page with your browser and then click on view page source in the menu of your browser you get <head> <title>My Page</title> </head> All white spaces removed. It maybe due to trim being used..... Is there some need to use trim, some portion of fast template that depends on No White Spaces???

yes, here for example ;) $lineTest = trim($lineData); if("<!-- BEGIN DYNAMIC BLOCK: $Macro -->" == "$lineTest" ) Anyway what is the use of this? The template is not overwritten and you are not working on the html file requested by the browser.

mmm, maybe I didn't explain it correctly...laughing what I'm thinking of doing is replacing all the trim() functions used in fast template with rtrim( ); This way it keeps the html formating i.e. syntax indents used in the templates when it outputs the html. I usually trouble shoot my html by viewing the page in a browser then looking at the code in the browser with view -> page - source

Ok I got what I needed Find $newTemplate .= trim($line) . "\n"; Replace with $newTemplate .= rtrim( $line ) . "\n"; This allows the output of the template to the browser with white spaces / html syntax indentations intacted. However, when in debug mode it could be a little annoying to have to inspect long lines of html with the white spaces / html syntax indentations intact. so to fix this I did the following Find in printarray( $arr, $caption ) WHILE ( list ( $key, $val ) = each ($arr) ){ Below Add $lines = split("\n", $val ); #flatten html for debug display $val = ''; WHILE ( list( $num, $line ) = each( $lines ) ) { $val .= trim( $line ) . "\n"; }

Oh just found another small html bug missing head tags in html debug, that is why the title Debug Console never shows up... ;-) Find _debug_console.document.write('<html><title>Debug Console</title><body bgcolor=#ffffff>'); Replace with _debug_console.document.write('<html><head><title> Debug Console</title></head><body bgcolor=#ffffff>'); Find _debug_console.document.write('<html><title>Debug Console</title><body bgcolor=#ffffff>'); Replace with _debug_console.document.write('<html><head><title> Debug Console</title></head><body bgcolor=#ffffff>');
