[PHPTAL] strip whitespace ?

[Werner]

Hi Jonathan

I use the tidy extension in conjunction with PHPTAL, it works great 
(e.g. you can define the doctype, etc and control a lot of whitespace 
and indentation handling out of the box, e.g. number of spaces to indent).

You probably know about tidy already, I just believe that making the 
final output look pretty is maybe a job for the lib that was written 
especially for that functionality (thus the right tool for the job) ?

Kind Regards,
Werner
