Re: Omitting template markup characters

I used some whitespaces / indentation in my template file to make it more
readable like so:

<#list my collection as item>
	${"11"}
		${item.id?string?left_pad(12, "0")}
		${item.labelCode?right_pad(10)}
	${"\r\n"}
</#list>

Which produces something like:

	11
		000000000123
		aCode

...because of the whitespaces and line breaks in my template file. Bubut
what I actually want it to produce is:

11000000000123aCode     

I solved this by preprocessing the template file to a temp file, omitting
whitespaces etc and using that temp file. Considering time and performance
for now this is adequate for me. 
Still, I briefly looked into the custom TemplateLoader option and I did not
find an appropriate example. I created a MyTemplateLoader implements
TemplateLoader (also tried extending FileTemplateLoader) and fed it to
configuration. But when I use configuration.setDirectoryForTemplateLoading
afterwards, configuration.getTemplateLoader returns its default
FileTemplateLoader again...:S Why is that?
More importantly, I noticed MyTemplateLoader.getReader is never accessed. 
Any ideas?

Cheers 
Kjeld
