Whitespace trim examples

  • Adding a hyphen in your tag syntax {% raw %} {{- , -}}, {%- and -%} {% endraw %} strips whitespace from the left or right side of a rendered tag.

    Example below shows the value tomato has a space before and after the word when assigned to my_variable. Adding a hyphen in the tags when displaying my_variable removes the spaces:

{% raw %}

{% assign my_variable = " tomato " %}
{{- my_variable -}}

{% endraw %}
