strip
   This replaces all repeated spaces, newlines and tabs with a single
   space, or with a supplied string.
  
Note: 
    If you want to strip blocks of template text, use the {strip} function.
   
| Example 5-18. strip | 
<?php
 $smarty = new Smarty;
 $smarty->assign('articleTitle', "Grandmother of\neight makes\t    hole in one.");
 $smarty->display('index.tpl');
 
 ?>
 | 
 
    where template is:
    | {$articleTitle}
{$articleTitle|strip}
{$articleTitle|strip:" "} | 
 
    This will output:
    | Grandmother of
eight makes        hole in one.
Grandmother of eight makes hole in one.
Grandmother of eight makes hole in one. |
