Re: Incorrect newline counters

Hi Dmitry,

this is a topic which has been raised before, but I am unable to find the 
resolving email given at the time, so I will have to rely on my memory of 
the situation.

Basically, the smarty templates are geared so the resulting output is the 
same as the template, and is a higher priority than the compiled template 
itself.

There is (or used to be at least) a problem where php would strip off 
carriage returns/newlines following a closing php tag. This means that 
everytime you call a template variable, you'd lose a line in your output. 
Smarty counters this by adding an additional newline after the close of the 
tag, so that the output returns the same as the template itself.

Now it could be that this situation has changed in recent releases of PHP, 
or that my memory is slightly faulty (in which case one of the others is 
more than welcome to step in and correct me), but I do know there is a good 
reason that the compiled templates come out with different line numbers to 
the template itself, and that this has been raised before, and answered, so 
a more thorough check of the list archives should reveal the answer.
