Omitting template markup characters

Hi,

I am trying to output a simple text file using Freemarker. I noticed that
the markup of the template file is copied to the output file: carriage
returns, linefeeds, indentations, blank spaces, all that are 'outside' the
markup tags are copied into the output stream as well, next to the text I am
actually trying to produce. 

Is it possible to configure Freemarker in such a way that all markup
characters in the template file will be omitted and only the characters that
are inside the tags are copied to the output file? 

E.g. I want the following template

<#list 1..5 as i>
	${'a'}
</#list>

...to return: aaaaa instead of 
     a
     a
     a
     a
     a

Thanks, 
Kjeld
