Weird behaviour on rendering a template for a booking list

[Anonymous]

Hi Franky,

i created templates for a booking list.

Header:

<table>
<tr>
	<th style="min-width:25px;"><b>ID</b></th>	
	<th><b>Fahrer<br />Beifahrer<br />Kontakt</b></th>	
	<th style="min-width:70px;"><b>Anschrift</b></th>	
	<th style="min-width:60px;"><b>Pers.<br />T-Shirt</b></th>	
	<th style="min-width:70px;"><b>Tour</b> (MX-5)<br />Club<br />Anreise</th>
</tr>

Content:

<tr>
	<td rowspan="2">#_BOOKINGID</td>
	<td><b>#_RESPNAME</b><br />[eme_if tag='#ESC_FIELDVALUE{1}']#_FIELDVALUE{28} #_FIELDVALUE{1}<br />[/eme_if]#_RESPEMAIL<br />#_RESPPHONE</td>
	<td>#_RESPADDRESS1<br />[eme_if tag='#ESC_RESPADDRESS2']#_RESPADDRESS2<br />[/eme_if]#_RESPZIP #_RESPCITY<br />#_RESPCOUNTRY</td>
	<td><b>#_FIELDVALUE{5} Pers.</b><br />#_FIELDVALUE{9}<br />#_FIELDVALUE{10}</td>
	<td><b>[eme_if tag='#_RESPSPACES{1}' value='1']Tour 1[/eme_if][eme_if tag='#_RESPSPACES{2}' value='1']Tour 2[/eme_if][eme_if tag='#_RESPSPACES{3}' value='1']Tour 3[/eme_if][eme_if tag='#_RESPSPACES{4}' value='1']Tour 4[/eme_if][eme_if tag='#_RESPSPACES{5}' value='1']Tour 5[/eme_if][eme_if tag='#_RESPSPACES{6}' value='1']Tour 6[/eme_if][eme_if tag='#_RESPSPACES{7}' value='1']Tour 7[/eme_if][eme_if tag='#_RESPSPACES{8}' value='1']Tour 8[/eme_if][eme_if tag='#_RESPSPACES{9}' value='1']KEINE TOUR[/eme_if][eme_if tag='#_RESPSPACES{10}' value='1']WARTE[/eme_if]</b> (#_FIELD{2})<br />#_FIELD{3}<br />#_FIELD{6}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td colspan="4"><i>#_COMMENT</i></td>
</tr>

Footer:

</table>
#_BOOKEDSEATS Buchungen

All data is shwon correctly, that’s not the problem. But there is a huge amount of white space between top of the page and output of the booking list. When i take a look in the source-code of the rendered page, there a <br /> after each opening and closing html-tag like <table> <tr> <td>

It looks like this (Data anonymized):

			<table><br />
<tr><br />
	<th style="min-width:25px;"><b>ID</b></th><br />
	<br />
	<th><b>Fahrer<br />
Beifahrer<br />
Kontakt</b></th><br />
	<br />
	<th style="min-width:70px;"><b>Anschrift</b></th><br />
	<br />
	<th style="min-width:60px;"><b>Pers.<br />
T-Shirt</b></th><br />
	<br />
	<th style="min-width:70px;"><b>Tour</b> (MX-5)<br />
Club<br />
Anreise</th><br />
</tr><tr><br />
	<td rowspan="2">1751</td><br />
	<td><b>Name **</b><br />
 Name ***<br />
Mail ***<br />
Phone ***</td><br />
	<td>Street ***<br />
City ***<br />
Country ***</td><br />
	<td><b>2 Pers.</b><br />
 NB<br />
S<br />
S</td><br />
	<td><b>Tour 3<br />
	</b><br />
Mx-5 Freunde Österreich<br />
Donnerstag</td><br />
</tr><br />
<tr><br />
	<td colspan="4"><i>Ich werde von Mittwoch, 29.5-2.6 Sonntag im Hotel sein.</i></td><br />
</tr><tr><br />
	<td rowspan="2">1752</td><br />
	<td><b>Name ***</b><br />

All code is put into the “Text” area of the editor. Some time ago i activated “Gutenberg” editor. But while i disliked it, i deinstalled it. Could this be a reason?

That’s not really the reason. I need to take into account people that create templates using pure html, or people using the html editor. But normally I add the br only when needed (not in the table), certainly in the latest version (it needed tweaking). Which version are you on?

I#m on the latest. 2.0.53

Ok, I just figured out something simple: did you set the option “convert newlines” in your template? If so, that will cause the problem too 🙂 Although EME doesn’t add br-tags for complete tables, ince you split them over 3 templates, my code will happily add tags if that option is set.
I’ll add extra code to just not add br-tags after tr/td and opening table tags too.
This should help:

(but the option to not convert the newlines is still preferred)

OMG – you are my hero – that’s it! I ignored this option because … i don’t know why anymore. 😉
