**Author:** `van.de.bugger` **Description:** I propose tag <dws>. Preprocessor should discard the tag and all the whitespaces after it. Primary purpose of the tag -- freestyle formatting for templates. Let us consider an example: * Some introductory text {{ template1 | param1=value1 | param2=value2 | param3=value3 | ... }} continuation {{ template2 | param1=value1 | param2=value2 | param3=value3 | ... }} and, finally, finish. Not too readable. I would like to reformat it, use linebreaks and indents for better readability. Since leading and trailing whitespace is often ignored in templates, the example could be reformatted to: * Some introductory text {{ template1 | param1=value1 | param2=value2 | param3=value3 | ... }} continuation {{ template2 | param1=value1 | param2=value2 | param3=value3 | ... }} and, finally, finish. I can add indents: * Some introductory text {{ template1 | param1=value1 | param2=value2 | param3=value3 | ... }} continuation {{ template2 | param1=value1 | param2=value2 | param3=value3 | ... }} and, finally, finish. or add linebreak before template name: * Some introductory text {{ template1 | param1=value1 | param2=value2 | param3=value3 | ... }} continuation {{ template2 | param1=value1 | param2=value2 | param3=value3 | ... }} and, finally, finish. but anyway, braces must remain on the same line with surrounding text. Using <dws> the example could be reformatted to: * Some introductory text <dws> {{ template1 | param1=value1 | param2=value2 | param3=value3 | ... }} <dws> continuation <dws> {{ template2 | param1=value1 | param2=value2 | param3=value3 | ... }} <dws> and, finally, finish. Much better to my taste. This is a simple example. The more complex template code, the more value of good formatting. Other possible applications: 1. Unnamed leading and trailing whitespaces are not ignored in unnamed template arguments. <dws> may be used to format code: {{ some template with unnamed arguments |first unnamed argument value<dws> |second unnamed argument value<dws> }} 2. If someone wants to avoid too long lines in wiki code: * Linebreak terminates list element, <dws> so entire element must be written in one long line. <dws> But tag dws allows writing it in multiple short lines. I think there are even more applications... I have been using the tag in my templates for some time and found in extremely helpful. -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: enhancement
