Multiple whitespace characters in HTML text nodes are rendered as a single space. Would be useful to do not render it at all in some cases. For example in imaginary wiki page footer:
<footer>
Version {$ver}
created by {$author}
{ifset $category}(in category {$category}{/}.
</footer>If $category is not set, extrace space is rendered by browser before dot.
Version 1 created by Milo .
To solve that I use this formatting but it makes code and commits harder to read:
<footer>
Version {$ver}
created by {$author}{ifset $category}
(in category {$category}{/}.
</footer>Some macro like {trim} or unpaired version of {spaceless} would be usesul. Such macro would delete all whitespace-only text nodes around itself.
note: In case of trim, optional charlist could be provided, like {trim ":, \n"}.
An example above could look like:
<footer>
Version {$ver}
created by {$author} {trim}
{ifset $category}
(in category {$category}) {trim}
{/}.
</footer>
