Web Clipper template: remove extraneous blank lines?

Web Clipper Template

Hopefully an expert can provide a quick answer. The following Web Clipper template note content does what I want EXCEPT it’s inserting a blank line between the clips. I want to have all the lines of output start with > with no blank lines. What needs to change?

***
> [!clipping] [{{meta:property:og:title}}]({{url}}) #clipping
{{highlights|template:"> ${text} <@>"|split:"<@>"|slice:0,-1|join:"> "}}

Non-expert, fellow tinkerer proposals…

See if this keeps the highlights inside your callout without extra lines:

> [!clipping] [{{meta:property:og:title}}]({{url}}) #clipping
{{highlights|map:item => item.text|blockquote}}

Same as above but with the highlights in a list:

> [!clipping] [{{meta:property:og:title}}]({{url}}) #clipping
{{highlights|map:item => item.text|list|blockquote}}
