The liquid documentation states that
By including hyphens in your assign tag, you can strip the generated whitespace from the rendered template ... if you don't want any of your tags to output whitespace, as a general rule you can add hyphens to both sides of all your tags ({%- and -%}):
When I try in jekyll
{%- case key -%}
I get the error
Error: Liquid syntax error (line 139): Tag '{%- case key -%}' was not
properly terminated with regexp: /\%\}/
There are many posts about excessive whitespace in the jekyll generated html, for example Compressing Liquid generated code.
They all complain about dilute HTML output and discuss plug-ins as solution. My simple questions are:
- Why does
{%- ... -%}not work in jekyll ? - Why behaves jekyll differently than the liquid documentation suggests
