>          Key: VELOCITY-64
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-64
>      Project: Velocity
>         Type: Improvement
>   Components: Build
>     Versions: 1.2
>  Environment: Operating System: other
> Platform: All
>     Reporter: William Bajzek
>     Priority: Minor

>
> I've been using velocity for a few months now, and I like it quite a bit, but 
> I've been bothered by one minor but not insignificant problem.
> Often, I need to use velocity calls inside templates to perform logic and set 
> up data structures... For example, to define the menu structure of a website in 
> a template for use in another template to be parsed during the same merge() 
> call, in order to keep such things that are irrelevant to the java code outside 
> of it so it can be modified without rebuilding.
> The problem is that whitespace used outside the velocity calls (for readability 
> and necessity) ends up in the output. In practice, the resulting html can 
> contain many kilobytes of irrelevant whitespace which the browsers will need to 
> download. I would like to see a feature for omitting whitespace between 
> consecutive velocity calls, or something equivalent to accomplish this.
> Thanks
