Hello,

Is it possible to prevent skip of newline after line comment during
rendering?
I've the following lines in a template:

Some text to display   ## some comment following
Next line with some text

The result is the following:
Some text to display   Next line with some text

Instead of:
Some text to display
Next line with some text

Best regards,
Andreas
