如何避免对Django字段应用无空格？

Question

I'm using {% spaceless %} in my base template which helps fix a fair bit of spacing issues while maintaining readability of the template code itself, further compounded because I'm using HamlPy. However, I have some models with fields containing HTML, which are also 'despaced', leading to some incorrect rendering, eg

... <em>Some Journal</em> <strong>Issue</strong>, 1695 (2013)

where the Journal and Issue number get smashed together. How can I avoid spaceless being applied to the fields themselves while maintaining it elsewhere?

A dumb hack of trying to prepend the field with {% endspaceless %} and after with {% spaceless %} just throws errors.

Answer 1

{% spaceless %} tag removes only spaces between HTML elements, and doesn't remove any spaces between text and elements nor spaces inside text. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/templates/builtins/#spaceless

Knowing that, a simple solution might be to move the space inside one of the HTML elements:

<em>Some Journal </em><strong>Issue</strong>

Another option would be to use CSS to add the space:

.some_context em {
    margin-right: 0.5em;
}

or

.some_context em:after {
    content: " ";
}

Third option might be to use   :

<em>Some Journal</em>&nbsp;<strong>Issue</strong>

If "non-breaking" has some unwanted effects, try   instead.
