Can I get rid of the blank lines
Hello,
For my site i use this for my menu.
<ul id="topnav">
<li><a href="<txp:site_url />" class="home">Home</a></li>
<!-- niveau 1: alleen de categorieën die zelf geen parent hebben, en niet de child-categories, dus alleen 'zwangerschap', 'babytijd' enz.: -->
<txp:category_list parent="" children="0" break="li" exclude="voorpagina">
<!-- voor elk van deze parent categorieën de titel: -->
<a href="#" class="<txp:category />"><txp:category title="1" /></a>
<div class="sub">
<!-- en (niveau 2) de child-categorieën voor deze parent (jaar1, jaar2 enz.): -->
<txp:category_list parent='<txp:category />' exclude='<txp:category />' wraptag="" break="ul">
<!-- voor elk van deze child-categorieën de titel: -->
<li><h2><a href="#"><txp:category title="1" /></a></h2></li>
<!-- en (niveau 3) de maanden in deze child-categorie -->
<txp:article_custom sort="Posted asc" category='<txp:category />' break="" limit="999">
<txp:if_different>
<li><a href="/?c=<txp:category />&month=<txp:posted format="%Y-%m" />"><txp:posted format="%B %Y" /></a></li>
</txp:if_different>
</txp:article_custom>
</txp:category_list>
</div>
</txp:category_list>
</ul> This works good except in the bron-code of the page I see this.
<li><h2><a href="#">zwanger</a></h2></li>
<!-- en (niveau 3) de maanden in deze child-categorie -->
<li><a href="/?c=zwanger&month=2005-02">februari 2005</a></li>
<li><a href="/?c=zwanger&month=2005-03">maart 2005</a></li>Is there a way I get rid of the empty rules ?

Re: Can I get rid of the blank lines
With Txp forms and container tags, the dilemma is whether to use enough whitespace in pages and forms to keep them readable, or whether to format so the HTML output won’t have excess line returns, tabs, etc. To get rid of the blank lines in your HTML you’ll have to delete line breaks in the page template, for example putting the entire if_different block on one line.

Re: Can I get rid of the blank lines
Hello,
I changed the if_different block to this :
bc.. <txp:if_different><li><a href=”/?c=<txp:category />&month=<txp:posted format=”%Y-%m” />”><txp:posted format=”%B %Y” /></a></li></txp:if_different>
But no change.
If I understand you I have to make the whole pagetemplate in one rule ?
And thanks for the explanation

Re: Can I get rid of the blank lines
Why bother? The visitor sees the page as rendered by the browser, not the HTML source. The extra empty lines or spacing doesn’t affect how the visitor sees it.

OK, it must be the line breaks just before and after the article_custom tag.
BTW I agree with Ruud. A line break is only one character and doesn’t matter in the overall scheme of things.

Roelof, have you tried jmd_trim?

Re: Can I get rid of the blank lines
Sorry, Roelof, jmd_trim won’t help you at all, it will output your code on just one line.
But rah_replace will be of help. Note that you have to copy and paste what you want removed, even if this sets the apostrophes embracing such expressions onto different lines, which looks a little particular.
