Mach II and whitespace

I'm starting to evaluate Mach II as a framework.  It throws a LOT of whitespace at the top of docs.  Is there a version available that does a better job of managing whitespace, or are there specific techniques that people use to manage whitespace?  I know it sounds pretty anally-retentive, but after spending 2+ years of wrestling with whitespace in Spectra I don't feel like having to jump through hoops to regain downloaded cfm template size. Thanks Pete

Could the problem be in your custom model components, perhaps? I would assume that since the framework outputs nothing by itself, the authors would have taken the steps to turn off whitespace output everywhere. There's always FuseBox .qry and .dsp files! ;-) -- Alex

The best way is to use <cfcontent reset="true" /> in your final display view. So if you have a view called main.cfm that does all your final displaying, at the top of that file you would use the <cfcontent> tag. It works great.

Whitespace has been an issue all along. They fixed it somewhat in the latest release but the framework still has a lot of whitespace.
