Can I suppress newlines after each template tag with Django's template engine?

Question

In Rails ERB, you can suppress newlines by adding a trailing hyphen to tags:

  <% for @item in @items -%>
    
<%= @item %>

        

Answer 1

The closest I've found to what you're looking for (I'm looking for the same thing) is talk about a future patch, here: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2594.

Unfortunately, it looks like there's not much you can do until they merge that patch in.

{% spaceless %}
<ul>
    <li>apple</li>
    <li>banana</li>
    <li>cacao</li>
</ul>
{% endspaceless %}

I am not aware about any way to discard template tags lines. I'd vote for opening bug report.

Answer 3

For example:

<ul>
{% for obj in list %}
    <li>{{ obj|linebreaksbr|striptags }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

Or this, which also strips whitespaces/tabs/etc, between HTML tags:

{{ spaceless }}
<ul>
{% for obj in list %}
    <li>{{ obj }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{{ endspaceless }}

Answer 4

When you write a template, you could open the ul hardcoded in the template and looping trought items en returning there value with the in it.

As far as i know there isn't a default function for that.

Answer 5

It is 2016 now, and I think this issue is still present. In this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQjmz9wCjLA at around 1:45 a unittest of a template shows that there is a trailing newline on the end of the tag.
