If [%- foo %] chomps whitespace from the left hand side of the tt2 tag, would it make sense for [%+ foo %] to _not_ chomp it, if the PRE_CHOMP option is set? And likewise for POST_CHOMP and [% foo +%] We like to chomp but would like to be able to turn off this behaviour for certain tags. alex -- alex <alex@state51.co.uk>
