newline and dash not working correctly in jinja
The -
removes all whitespace between that side of the Jinja tag and the first character. You are using -
on the 'inside' of the tags, so whitespace is removed up to the -
character and after the word string
, joining up the two. Remove one or the other.
You could remove the extra newlines at the start and end of your text for example, and remove the -
from the inside side of the opening tag:
{%- for field in fields %}
-
name: {{field}}
type: string
{%- endfor -%}
Demo:
>>> from jinja2 import Template
>>> fields = ["operating revenue", "gross operating profit", "EBITDA", "operating profit after depreciation", "EBIT", "date"]
>>> template_file = '''\
... {%- for field in fields %}
... -
... name: {{field}}
... type: string
... {%- endfor -%}
... '''
>>> template = Template(template_file)
>>> html_rendered = template.render(fields=fields)
>>> print(html_rendered)
