Hello,

Is there a template / function to remove line breaks (newlines)?

Purpose? Quote https://lnf-wiki.eecs.umich.edu/wiki/Help:Templates

To improve readability, usually programmers like to split the code

with newlines and indent it.

Indeed.

Unfortunately MediaWiki software does not allow this functionality and

in many instances these purpose-built newlines are treated by the software as content. One possible workaround is to add <!-- before each newline character and --> after it.

That probably works but is still not pretty.

Related to a similar report of mine:

extraneous newlines caused by templates

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T314593

Hence my question... Is there some template or function to remove newlines? Example:

``` {{no_new_lines|

{{Header}}

{{Title|title= wiki page title }}

{{#seo: |description=wiki page description |image=image.png }}

[[File:image.png|thumb|100px|[[Dev/Logo|description]]]]

{{intro| introduction text here }}

{{Anchor|anchor}}

<!-- close braces for no_new_lines template --> }} ```

In result, none of the following should add any newlines. No line breaks from the templates (which aren't supposed to add line breaks) and no new lines where were only used to separate the different items in the wiki source code (such as {{Header}}, {{Title|...}, ...) to make the wiki markup easier to read.

Cheers, Patrick
