I don't think so, but I haven't tested it. Django's template parser does not remove newlines anywhere, even if only a template directive exists on that line. For HTML, this isn't an issue. You can try sacrificing template readability by putting everything on to one line. There has been a fair bit of discussion about this, but no consensus was arrived at. For now, the better solution is to use jinja2 (http://jinja.pocoo.org/). Its language is based on Django's, and is largely compatible, but it has the added bonus of being able to remove newlines like so, {%- if interests|length > 0 %} ... {%- endif %} Notice the - after the % sign. This tells jinja2 to remove the previous newline character. You can also add them at the closing % to remove the following newline character. It is pretty easy to use with Django (and many people do), and you can just use it for this particular template, leaving all others to use Django's in-built templating system. > > On Aug 13, 8:53 pm, CrabbyPete <pete.do...@gmail.com> wrote: >> I'm using the django template system for format a text email.
