			<title>strip</title>
			<para>
			Many times web designers run into the issue where white space and
			carriage returns affect the output of the rendered HTML (browser
			"features"), so you must run all your tags together in the template
			to get the desired results. This usually ends up in unreadable or
			unmanageable templates.
			</para>
			<para>
			Anything within {strip}{/strip} tags in Smarty are stripped of the
			extra spaces or carriage returns at the beginnings and ends of the
			lines before they are displayed. This way you can keep your
			templates readable, and not worry about extra white space causing
			problems.

			<para>
			{strip}{/strip} does not affect the contents of template variables.
			See the <link linkend="language.modifier.strip">strip modifier
			function</link>.

		Notice that in the above example, all the lines begin and end
		with HTML tags. Be aware that all the lines are run together.
		If you have plain text at the beginning or end of any line,
		they will be run together, and may not be desired results.
