Description: ------------ Newlines following a {variable} disappear after substitution. This is not a big deal when generating HTML, obviously, but one sees it if one is using a template to make plain text, such as for an email. Use the following two lines for template.text in the reproduce code: W{foo} {bar}Z Later, - Mitch Reproduce code: --------------- <? require_once 'HTML/Template/Flexy.php'; $obj = new StdClass; $obj->foo = 'X'; $obj->bar = 'Y'; $options = array('templateDir' => '.', 'compileDir' => '.', 'compiler' => 'Standard'); $output = new HTML_Template_Flexy($options); $output->compile('template.text'); $output->outputObject($obj); ?> Expected result: ---------------- WX YZ Actual result: -------------- WXYZ

It's a known oddity of the php engine - it strips CR/LF following the ?> Normally for emails, I'm tempted to recommend the regex parser - $x = new HTML_Template_Flexy(array( 'compiler'=>'Regex', 'filters' => array('SimpleTags', 'mail'), )); As it wont try and parse 'alan <alan@example.com>' as html.. = and also has the fix for CR/LF adding..

Work around: add a space after the } of a flexy tag.. The PHP issue is echo -e "<?php echo 'hello'; ?>\nWorld" | php prints helloWorld - removing the \n.. since flexy converts {xxx}\n into <?php echo $t->xxx; ?>\n PHP is probably the guilty party here:) I didnt really want second guess PHP.. here.. :) - I guess this gets a wontfix :)

(1) You need to use capital 'm' in 'mail' as follows: $x = new HTML_Template_Flexy(array( 'compiler'=>'Regex', 'filters' => array('SimpleTags', 'Mail'), )); (2) This Regex/SimpleTags/Mail compiler gives funny output, and I end up with blanks going in to my template: Template: --------- I am interested in purchasing your {producttypename} named {productname}, Compiled Template: ------------------ I am interested in purchasing your <?=htmlspecialchars(@$producttypename)?> named <?=htmlspecialchars(@$productname)?>, Output: ------- I am interested in purchasing your named ,.
