Hi David,

I use ~ modifier inside of tt2 blocks in web templates (not email template), like

[% FOREACH dude IN dudes ~%]

  [% IF dude.users ~%]

    [% FOREACH user IN dude.users ~%]

      [% IF user.email ~%]

        <li>[% user.email %]</li>

      [% ELSIF user.gecos ~%]

         <li>[% user.gecos %]</li>

      [% ELSE ~%]

        <li>[% ‘user’ | loc %]</li>

      [% END %]

    [%~ END %]

  [%~ END %]

[%~ END %]

This way, most of unnecessary spaces and blank lines are stripped (in above, only newlines after <li> element are left).

Hi Luc,

I prefer 4 spaces too.

Related question:

I, like Soji, tend to have exceptions for HTML. Namely, I try to distinguish TT2 tags indentation and the resulting HTML indentation.

I make a large usage of ending dashes (like in [% FOREACH -%]) in TT2 tags to allow to isolate these tags on single lines to prevent making their indentation to impact HTML.

Example:

<ol>

[% FOREACH dude IN dudes -%]

    [% IF dude.emails -%]

        [% FOREACH email IN dude.emails -%]

            [% IF email.canonical -%]

    <li>[% email.value %]</li>

            [% ENDIF -%]

        [% ENDFOR -%]

    [% ENDIF -%]

[% ENDFOR -%]

</ol>

Which would give :

<ol>

    <li>address@concealed</li>

    <li>address@concealed</li>

    <li>address@concealed</li>

</ol>

Whereas without the ending dashes, it would give:

<ol>

    <li>address@concealed</li>

 

    <li>address@concealed</li>

 

 

 

    <li>address@concealed</li>

</ol>

Regards,

David

Hi,

I’m using 2 spaces for both tt2 elements and HTML elements (and there are some exception rules when HTML is enclosed by tt2, ...a bit hard to describe).

If another method was agreed, I won’t stick to my method.

Hello,

I plan to correct indentation in the default tt2 template files to
make them more readable. How many spaces should I use? I saw templates
with 2 spaces and 4 spaces.

My personal preference is 4 spaces, like in the perl files.
