Please use the M2T newsgroup for JET2 questions. I've added it to the
"to" list so Paul should see your question. He might need more detail
though. Often the goodness of the answer is proportional to the amount
of information provided in the question...

John:

JET2 removes write space when a tag (or other language element) is alone on
a line.

Rule of thumb: If you don't want write space associated with a tag, put it
on its own line.

So:

<c:iterate select... >
Some code
</c:iterate>

Should produce

Some code
Some code
Some code
...

But, if you put a comment on the line

<c:iterate select... > <%-- a comment --%>
Some code
</c:iterate>

You'd get:

Some code

Some code

Some code

Hi thank you for the answer. I have this code:

private void _init() throws Exception {
<%int index=1;%>
<c:iterate select="//container/*" var="current">
<c:choose>
<c:when test="$current[name()='radio']">
code to write
....

The result is:
private void _init() throws Exception {

code to write

Why!? All has been done with jeteditor.
Thank you
John Slave

Are you saying to remove these ghost blank lines you have to remove all
comments ? Seems a shame.

Stu:

No, just put them on a separate line.

I'll have another look at the new line trimming algorthim to see if I can
make it more friendly with respect to comments. No promises for this
release, so it still comes down to, put your comments on a separate line.

The <c:log>Log here</c:log>

Seems to add a blank line is what I have found so far.

Cheers for all your time.

Stu:

<c:log>Log here</c:log>

would add a line, while

<c:log>
Log here
</c:log>

will not.

The whitespace/line stripping would have to get smarter about the intent of
individual tags to successfully do the right thing on:

<c:log>Log here</c:log>

and, and the same time:

<f:lc>Lower Case here</f:lc>

I'll give it some thought. Here's a bugzilla to track it...

Here is the line that caused trouble:-

PreText1
<c:addTextElement select="$conductorType/valueHolder" name="notFoundName"
var="notFound">NotFound</c:addTextElement>

PostText1

Output looks like:
PreText1

PostText1

I tried:-
<c:addTextElement select="$conductorType/valueHolder" name="notFoundName"
var="notFound">
NotFound
</c:addTextElement>

but got the same result.
