Hi, this is my first post here, and my first implementation of Couchcms. I'm really impressed by its possibilities and flexibility!

Now that I have evertything up and running, I noticed that most of my pages have a couple of lines of whitespace inserted before the doctype tag. I'm also seeing a • character.

Anyone has any ideas what's the cause? Not sure if it's a problem since everything is working fine.

Thanks.

Hello and welcome, Vincent

I am glad you liked Couch.

The white-spaces you mentioned is normal with Couch tags - the tags disappear but leave behind empty spaces. Nothing to worry about, though, as HTML is whitespace agnostic (which means W3C Validator will have no problems with your page).

However, the 'dot' that you mentioned is not a Couch artifact.
I suspect it the infamous UTF BOM bytes in action.
Please try saving your template as 'UTF without BOM' (usually all text editors have this option - try NotePad++ if you are on Windows).

Hope this helps.

That was quick

I'll try to can save my pages as utf-8 without BOM. I'm on a Mac running Coda 2.

Thanks.
