Hi !

What is the best way to avoid the new line character when a template is called, if i don't want to call another template just on its right ?

I've found the following ones :

[if calledTemplate().size() > 0]
[calledTemplate()/][/if]
[anotherCalledTemplate()/]

[if true]
[calledTemplate()/][/if]
[anotherCalledTemplate()/]

Is there another solution more... beautiful ?

Thanks.

Regards.

Hi,

The carriage return you see is the one you have in the module, so there is not much to be done

[calledTemplate()/] // here is a carriage return that will be generated whatever happens
[anotherCalledTemplate()/]

Acceleo 3 doesn't have a "text generation" statement, what's generated is the text of the module itself, with some generation rules applied.

You can use the workarounds you've outline here, or you could use a text formatter post-generation... that's basically the options with the current Acceleo versions.
