spacey

The spacey filter protects whitespace between tags, so the spaceless filter won't remove it.

Any sequence of whitespace characters between two tags will be transformed into a single, normal (but HTML encoded) space.

This is useful when you have a text with several inline tags in sequence, in an otherwise spaceless code block.

Without spacey

{% set sentence =
    '<em>This</em>
    <strong>sentence</strong> has
    <a href="#">five</a> <em>words</em>.'
%}


{% apply spaceless %}
    <div>
        <p>
            {{sentence|raw}}
        </p>
    </div>
{% endapply %}


{# Outputs:
<div><p><em>This</em><strong>sentence</strong> has
    <a href="#">five</a><em>words</em>.
        </p></div>
 #}

The above sentence will render in a web browser as:

Thissentence has fivewords.

With spacey

{% set sentence =
    '<em>This</em>
    <strong>sentence</strong> has
    <a href="#">five</a> <em>words</em>.'
%}


{% apply spaceless %}
    <div>
        <p>
            {{sentence|spacey|raw}}
        </p>
    </div>
{% endapply %}

{# Outputs:
<div><p><em>This</em>\&#x0020;<strong>sentence</strong> has
    <a href="#">five</a>\&#x0020;<em>words</em>.
        </p></div>
 #}

The above sentence will render in a web browser as:

This sentence has five words.
