strip

This replaces all repeated spaces, newlines and tabs with a single space, or with a supplied string.

Note: If you want to strip blocks of template text, use the strip function.

Example 5-18. strip


<?php

$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->assign('articleTitle', "Grandmother of\neight makes\t    hole in one.");
$smarty->display('index.tpl');

?>

where index.tpl is:

{$articleTitle}
{$articleTitle|strip}
{$articleTitle|strip:"&nbsp;"}

This will output:

Grandmother of
eight makes        hole in one.
Grandmother of eight makes hole in one.
Grandmother&nbsp;of&nbsp;eight&nbsp;makes&nbsp;hole&nbsp;in&nbsp;one.
