Re: [SMARTY-DEV] {strip}{/strip} unexpected results

The compiler inserts extra newlines after '?>' tags in an attempt to make the template output exactly like the template source. PHP eats these newlines, so in many cases it is necessary to add a newline so that the output doesn't get bunched together.
