Re: (anti)XMLProcessing : how to render a list of node as a comma separated list of their text ?

Hi Thierry,

Try using <#ftl strip_whitespace="true"> at the beginning of your 
template. At least that's what I use on my 
templates-that-process-XML-and-produce-JSON, which is also kind of picky 
with the newlines and spaces.

S!
