Slurping previous new-lines

Is there a way to remove previous newlines?

My problem is creating xmls

    <requires>
        <import addon="xbmc.python" version="<%= props.kodiVersion %>"/>
<%_ if (props.type == 'Plugin') { -%>        <import addon="script.module.routing" version="0.2.0"/><% } %>
<%_ if (props.kodiVersion == '2.24.0' && (props.type == 'Plugin' || props.type == 'Script' || props.type == 'Service')) { -%>        <import addon="script.module.simplejson" version="3.3.0"/><% } %>
    </requires>

What I often end up with is this:

    <requires>
        <import addon="xbmc.python" version="2.24.0"/>

        <import addon="script.module.simplejson" version="3.3.0"/>
    </requires>

So I would need something instead of <%_ I guess

We can’t really invent special, different tags to accommodate all the various ways people might want to handle whitespace, or reformat the markup produced by EJS. I’d be happy to have a longer discussion about a more generalized approach to solving this, but one-offing each individual desired formatting change with ad-hoc tags doesn’t seem like the right approach. I’m going to close this issue, but interested parties can certainly feel free to open and issue to propose a better long-term solution for this type of problem.

Is it a lower-level dep or something?
