Would there be a way for this plugin to emit fewer blank lines (i.e. none at all)?

For example, having a look at this page's sidebar. This sidebar (source code) is supposed to have no blank lines between...

  • Hurd and About,
  • Todo and Mach,
  • Mach and Mig.

The blank lines in this example are coming from the newline after then=", and also from the newline before the close quote. If you remove those newlines, I think it should work. --[[Joey]]

No, that's unfortunately not it, see here: [[if test="enabled(trallala)" then="foot"]] Continued. But on the other [[if test="enabled(trallala)" then="foot" else="hand:"]] Continued. --[[tschwinge]]

Seems ok, no? The only linebreaks I see in the source are the ones you put at the end of the lines. --[[Joey]]

Okay, that would explain the linebreak between 1 and 3. But then, why are all linebreaks removed between 3 and 5?

1 No, that's unfortunately not it, see here: [[if test="enabled(trallala)" then="foot"]] 3 Continued. But on the other [[if test="enabled(trallala)" then="foot" else="hand:"]] 5 Continued. --[[tschwinge]]

The conditional after 1 evaluates to "", so there's a blank line there. The one after 3 evaluates to "hand:", so no blank line there. --[[Joey]]
