white-space in IT/ITX

Would it be possible to add to the parser the ability to strip the line on which the block statements occured...so that if I had first <!-- BEGIN foo --> <td> <!-- END foo --> last The output would be first <td> last and not first <td> last Seems that if I know how I am going to make my templates (block comments on a line by themselves) I should be able to trucate that line. I am getting tons of eroneous space when parsing a template. Please note that it would be nice to be able to strip the endline and all whitespace leading up to and following the comment block. Thanks, Dan
