Re: comments trump newline?

This is the expected behavior, unless your template begins with something like
<#ftl strip_whitespace=false>

Whitespace between non-outputting elements (comments among them) is
stripped. Also, the whitespace on a line that contains only
non-outputting elements is ignored.
