I'm new to Diet templates, so please forgive me if this is a dumb question.

Basically, I'm trying to control the whitespace produced by my Diet templates so that there is no whitespace at all except in text (and where it's mandatory according to HTML syntax). Currently, I'm using version=VibeOutputCompactHTML, but I'm still having trouble figuring out the following:

1) How to suppress newlines produced by | lines? E.g.:

p< Blah
    |Bleh
    |Bluh

Desired output:

<p>BlahBlehBluh</p>

Current output:

<p>Blah
Bleh
Bluh</p>

2) How to replace newlines around a tag between | lines with a single space?

p< Blah
    | Bleh
    input(name="field")
    | Bluh

Desired output:

<p>Blah Bleh <input name="field"> Bluh</p>

Current output:

<p>Blah
Bleh
<input name="field">
Bluh</p>
