Code:

function somefunction() { return 1; }
$smarty->register_function('somefunction', 'somefunction');

Code:

{somefunction}
{somefunction}

Smarty output (smarty removes linebreak between two functions):

Code:

Expected output (with linebreaks):

Code:

1
1

Evidently, this problem is because of inaccurate use of php openning/closing tags. As I understand, the code above is compiled to something like this:

Code:

If so, linebreak after php closing tag is removed by php.

This whitespace behaviour is real problem. What should I use with this code:

Code:

{somefunction}
{somefunction}

if I want to preserve whitespace?

What, if i need functions to stay side by side ? So a forced line function is not needed.

Why dont u use something like this:

Code:

function somefunction() { return 1.'<br />'; }
$smarty->register_function('somefunction', 'somefunction');

If I need functions to stay side by side, I'll either put them side by side or use {strip} tag.

In my opinion, it would be good if Smarty development team made a decision and made this decision documented:
1. either always preserve whitespaces as they are in template (personally, I prefer this option)
2. or remove whitespaces after all smarty closing tags (i.e. after '}')

I suspect that for now development team does not care about whitespaces. If it happens that smarty closing tag '}' is replaced with php closing tag '?>' during compilation, whitespace is removed (because such is the behaviour of php closing tag). If the above does not happen, whitespace is preserved. The problem is that template designers don't know what happens during compilation (and they should not even think about this). I think the best way is to document this behaviour and not to change it from version to version.

This will get fixed, it's an inconsistency in the smarty 3 compiler atm.
