python - Django Template Tags Creating Spaces -

i working on django site live @ this site. getting unwanted spaces in output caused unwanted whitespace in html.

for instance, "01-1737 , civilian review authority , inappropriate language, sustained," has spaces before of commas.

i have found other posts similar problems, no solution has worked me. tried {% spaceless %} tag, didn't work. thing did work me putting of template tags in loop on single line, i'd find more readable solution this.

here code django template:

{% extends 'police_archive/base.html' %}  {% block content %}     <h2> {{officer.first_name}} {{officer.last_name}}, badge #{{officer.badge}} </h2>     <p><strong>department:</strong> {{officer.department}}</p>     <h2>complaints</h2>     <ul>         {% details in details_list %}             <li>                   {% if details.incident.case_number %}                     <a href='/police_archive/complaint/{{details.incident.case_number}}'>                          {{details.incident.case_number}}                     </a>                 {% else %}                  no case number found                 {% endif %}                   {% if details.incident.office %}                  , {{details.incident.get_office_display}}                 {% else %}                 , no office found                 {% endif %}                  {% if details.allegation %}                  , {{details.allegation}}                 {% endif %}                  {% if details.finding %}                  , {{details.finding}}                 {% endif %}                  {% if details.action %}                  , {{details.action}}                 {% endif %}                </li>         {% endfor %}   {% endblock %} 

the reason {% spaceless %} didn't give remove space because works between html tags. whitespace showing within <li> tag.

i can't seem find solution django's standard templating system, jinja offers you're looking for. uses dash strip trailing or leading whitespace:

{% item in seq -%}     {{ item }} {%- endfor %} 

in order use jinja instead of django's default templating system, you'll have change settings.py file described django's docs:

templates = [     {         'backend': 'django.template.backends.jinja2.jinja2.',         'dirs': [],         'app_dirs': true,         'options': {             # ... options here ...         },     }, ]
