# {strip}
|
|
|
|
Many times web designers run into the issue where white space and
|
|
carriage returns affect the output of the rendered HTML (browser
|
|
"features"), so you must run all your tags together in the template to
|
|
get the desired results. This usually ends up in unreadable or
|
|
unmanageable templates.
|
|
|
|
Anything within `{strip}{/strip}` tags are stripped of the extra spaces
|
|
or carriage returns at the beginnings and ends of the lines before they
|
|
are displayed. This way you can keep your templates readable, and not
|
|
worry about extra white space causing problems.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**
|
|
>
|
|
> `{strip}{/strip}` does not affect the contents of template variables,
|
|
> see the [strip modifier](../language-modifiers/language-modifier-strip.md) instead.

```smarty
|
|
{* the following will be all run into one line upon output *}
|
|
{strip}
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>
|
|
<a href="#">
|
|
This is a test
|
|
</a>
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
{/strip}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above example will output:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<table><tr><td><a href="#">This is a test</a></td></tr></table>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notice that in the above example, all the lines begin and end with HTML
|
|
tags. Be aware that all the lines are run together. If you have plain
|
|
text at the beginning or end of any line, they will be run together, and
|
|
may not be desired results.
