Extra new lines added

[ghost]

I have a template:

A list of famous people:
<% names.forEach(function (name) { %>
name: <%= name %>
<% } %>

Which generates:

A list of famous people:

name: Alexander

name: Bruce

name: Ceasar

name: David

Could the new lines be removed?

In the newest version of EJS there is the -%> tag ... So changing you code to the below should fix the issue.

A list of famous people:
<% names.forEach(function (name) { -%>
name: <%= name %>
<% } -%>

This is resolved and can be closed @visionmedia

@ForbesLindesay I still have the same problem:

<% var fruits = ["Apple", "Pear", "Orage", "Lemon"] %>
<ul>
   <% for(var i = 0; i < fruits.length; ++i) {%>
        <li><%=fruits[i]%></li>
   <% } %>
</ul>

Renders:

<ul>

        <li>Apple</li>

        <li>Pear</li>

        <li>Orage</li>

        <li>Lemon</li>

</ul>

How can I prevent the empty lines?

Also, I just posted this question: http://stackoverflow.com/q/36175454/1420197

@IonicaBizau: Newline slurping with <% code -%> or <% -%> or <%= code -%> or <%- code -%> the hyphen in -%> should do the trick

[IonicaBizau]

@tj Oh, right! 👍 Is there a place where these are documented?

FWIW, this version of EJS isn't maintained anymore. The current one (with additional whitespace modes) is here: https://github.com/mde/ejs

@mde Oh, nice! 👍 Seems like what I was searching is here. Thanks a lot! 😁
