extra spaces in category_list break tag - minor bug

colak · 2012-10-21 07:35:04

I have this code using txp v4.5.1

<txp:category_list parent="artists" exclude="artists" sort="name" section="artists" wraptag="p" break=", ">
<txp:category title="1" link="1" />
</txp:category_list>

which returns:

<p>artist 1 , artist 2 , artist 3 , etc</p>

Can anybody advice me why there is a space after the artists’ names and before the comma?

It is a behaviour I don’t remember in previous txp versions and breaks the layout of the page as sometimes the comma is moved to the next line.

Try the single tag, like this :

<txp:category_list parent="artists" exclude="artists" sort="name" section="artists" wraptag="p" break=", " />

Hi Claire, the single tag does indeed work as expected. Any ideas why the container tag doesn’t?

Because you have two newlines before and after the category title. Anything that is wrapped in the tags, is included in the list output, including any whitespace. This as intended. If you do not want any whitespace, then you should write that without those newlines.

Moving this to How Do I…? & Other Questions.

Hi Jukka, that makes sense. Thanks

If that fact isn’t already there, it should be mentioned in the wiki.
