Source code: I have the following program.
import genshi
from genshi.template import MarkupTemplate
html = '''
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<py:for each="i in range(3)">
<py:choose>
<del py:when="i == 1">
${i}
</del>
<py:otherwise>
${i}
</py:otherwise>
</py:choose>
</py:for>
</body>
</html>
'''
template = MarkupTemplate(html)
stream = template.generate()
html = stream.render('html')
print(html)
Expected output: the numbers are printed consecutively with no whitespace (and most critically no line-break) between them.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
0<del>1</del>2
</body>
</html>
Actual output: It outputs the following:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
0
<del>1</del>
2
</body>
</html>
Question: How do I eliminate the line-breaks? I can deal with the leading whitespace by stripping it from the final HTML, but I don't know how to get rid of the line-breaks. I need the contents of the for loop to be displayed as a single continuous "word" (e.g. 012 instead of 0 \n 1 \n 2).
What I've tried:
- Reading the Genshi documentation.
- Searching StackOverflow
- Searching Google
Using a
<?python ...code... ?>code block. This doesn't work since the carets in the<del>tags are escaped and displayed.<?python def numbers(): n = '' for i in range(3): if i == 1: n += '<del>{i}</del>'.format(i=i) else: n += str(i) return n ?> ${numbers()}Produces
0<del>1</del>2I also tried this, but usinggenshi.builder.Element('del')instead. The results are the same, and I was able to conclusively determine that the string returned bynumbers()is being escaped after the return occurs.A bunch of other things that I can't recall at the moment.
Not ideal, but I did finally find an acceptable solution. The trick is to put the closing caret for a given tag on the next line right before the next tag's opening caret.

If anyone has a better approach I'd love to hear it.
