Extra line in templater quote block

[jimwrites]

I have a templater command to insert a daily quote into my daily note page. It pulls from a “Daily note” page using another template that generates a random quote. It works, except the result always inserts a blank line at the beginning of the quote. It seems like an easy fix, but it’s a little beyond my skill set.

On my daily note template the command is:

<% tp.file.include(“[[Random-quote-template]]”) %>

The Random note template is:

<%* let tf = app.metadataCache.getFirstLinkpathDest(“Daily quote”,“”)
let contents = await app.vault.read(tf)
let nonEmpty = contents.split(“\n”).filter(c=>c!=“”)
let randomQuote = nonEmpty[Math.floor(Math.random()*nonEmpty.length)] -%> >
<% randomQuote %>

Any help would be appreciated.

Templater has some whitespace controls (second section of the linked post) you include in the template. You could try some of those.

Templater Whitespace

You could try this: Seems you’ve tried these, but just to doublecheck: A specific syntax exists for whitespace control: An underscore _ at the beginning of a tag (<%_) will trim all > > whitespace before the command An underscore _ at the end of a tag (_%>) will trim all >whitespace after the command A dash - at the beginning of a tag (<%-) will trim one newline >before the command A dash - at the end of a tag (-%>) will trim one newline after >the command. https://silentvoid13.github.i…

The underscores seem to work for me. Thanks for the tip.
