Disappearing newlines

[difosfor]

I'm using the following technique to be able to declare partials inline. It works fine in v2.0.0-alpha.4, but in following versions, some of the newlines within helper blocks seem to be eaten up.

Am I doing something wrong or has an issue been introduced since then?

JavaScript:

Handlebars.registerHelper('partial', function(name, options) {
    Handlebars.registerPartial(name, options.fn);
});

Template (excerpt from: https://github.com/exmg/nbob/blob/master/res/em-api/playtotv-define.js.hbs):

        /**
{{~#partial "enum-values"}}{{#if enumValues}} Valid values: {{#join enumValues}}'{{.}}'{{/join}}{{/if}}{{/partial}}
{{~#partial "dto-params"}}
         * <ul>
{{~#.}}
         * <li><i>{ {{~type~}} }</i> <b>{{name}}</b>{{> enum-values}}{{#if pojo}}{{#with pojo.fieldsData}}{{> dto-params}}{{/with}}{{/if}}</li>
{{~/.}}
         * </ul>
{{~/partial}}
{{~#if responseVar.pojo}}
         * <b>Response data:</b>
{{~#with responseVar.pojo.fieldsData}}{{> dto-params}}{{/with}}
{{~/if}}

Output before:

        /**
         * <b>Response data:</b>
         * <ul>
         * <li><i>{number}</i> <b>status</b></li>
         * <li><i>{[VierErrorDTO]}</i> <b>errors</b>
         * <ul>
         * <li><i>{string}</i> <b>field</b></li>
         * <li><i>{string}</i> <b>message</b></li>
         * </ul></li>
         * <li><i>{string}</i> <b>uid</b></li>
         * </ul>

Output now:

        /**      * <b>Response data:</b>         * <ul>      * <li><i>{number}</i> <b>status</b></li>        * <li><i>{[VierErrorDTO]}</i> <b>errors</b>         * <ul>      * <li><i>{string}</i> <b>field</b></li>         * <li><i>{string}</i> <b>message</b></li>       * </ul></li>        * <li><i>{string}</i> <b>uid</b></li>       * </ul>

beta1 introduced standalone statements, matching the mustache spec.

It looks like you uses of whitespace control is the reverse of the newlines that are left in place by the standalone logic. Do you still see funky rendering if you remove the explicit whitespace control that you have in that example? If so could you post a live example of the failure?

Thanks for the information!

I've adapted our template to work with Handlebars v2.0.0. Not sure if I did it the best way, or if everything works exactly the way that it should, but it's good enough for me :)

You can see my current template here:

And the diff in the commit referenced above.

Let me know if you would like anymore information.
