  Prevent <% expression %> from adding extra blank line

  Nov 22, 2008 07:44 PM|LINK

  Hello there,

  Consider the following:
  

  <ul>
  <% foreach (blah) { %>
      <li><%= Html.ActionLink(...) %></li>
  <% }>
  </ul>

  Output:

  <ul>
  
     <li><a href="#">Text</a></li>
  
     <li><a href="#">Text</a></li>
  
     <li><a href="#">Text</a></li>
  
  </ul>

  (Note the extra blank lines)

  I really hate this behavior... I would really like to have clean HTML

  <ul>
     <li><a href="#">Text</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">Text</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">Text</a></li>
  </ul>

  Does anyone know if this is possible by tweaking something?

  Thanks,

  html

   would removing the newline between your foreach and your content help?
  

  <% foreach (blah) { %><li><%= Html.ActionLink(...) %></li>
  <% }>

  I reposition the <% to be immediately after the preceeding html tag, like this

  <ul><%

     foreach(...) { %>

     <li>blah</li><%

     } %>

  </ul>
