Description
I was messing around in Jekyll with Liquid and discovered this weird behaviour when I hit auto-format on an HTML file:
{% assign foo = "bar" %}
{% if foo == "bar" %}
true
{% else %}
false
{% endif %}
gives the result true
, whereas
{% assign foo = "bar" %}
{% if foo=="bar" %}
true
{% else %}
false
{% endif %}
gives the result false
.
Furthermore,
{% assign foo = "" %}
{% if foo=="bar" %}
true
{% else %}
false
{% endif %}
gives the result true
, as though Liquid is evaluating against the empty string.
Can anyone replicate this? Is this documented (and I missed it)? I can't seem to find any notes on how whitespace is relevant to Liquid, and I would expect it to obey the same whitespace rules as HTML (ie. ignore all unnecessary whitespace).
#428 relevant?
