I'm trying to put a list of tags in a table, so I carefully make a newline-free taglist.tmpl and then do:
| \[[!inline pages="link(/category/env)" feeds=no archive=yes sort=title template=taglist]] |
but there's a line in `inline.pm` that does:
return "<div class=\"inline\" id=\"$#inline\"></div>\n\n";
And the extra newlines break the table. Can they be safely removed?
