Consider the following example ([http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/48251 taken from metafilter], where it is a common idiom): {{{ Can God make a rock so heavy that he could not lift it? }}} The spaceless tag would remove the spaces between these links entirely, causing them to look like this: CanGodmakearocksoheavythathecouldnotliftit? The solution is to replace multiple whitespace with a single space rather than removing them entirely. A more complex solution would be to remove ALL whitespace between block-level tags but leave space beteween inline tags, but the complexity and performance overhead of doing this probably prohibits it." defect closed Template system normal fixed Unreviewed 0 0 0 0 0 0
