To make sure we are all on the same page, here is an example: This template code: {{{ <h1>My list</h1> <ul> {% for item in items %} <li>{{ item }}</li> {% endfor %} </ul> }}} Would normally evaluate to: {{{ <h1>My list</h1> <ul> <li>item 1</li> <li>item 2</li> <li>item 3</li> </ul> }}} And with the {% spaceless %} tag evaluates to: {{{ <h1>My list</h1> <ul> <li>item 1</li> <li>item 2</li> <li>item 3</li> </ul> }}} And with the StripWhitespaceMiddleware evaluates to {{{ <h1>My list</h1> <ul> <li>item 1</li> <li>item 2</li> <li>item 3</li> </ul> }}} But what I think should evaluate to: {{{ <h1>My list</h1> <ul> <li>item 1</li> <li>item 2</li> <li>item 3</li> </ul> }}} In other words, leave lines that I add, but remove the empty lines that had template tags on them.	jshedd	Gary Wilson <gary.wilson@gmail.com>		0	1	1	0	0	0
