[Zope] Surpress white space?

[zoper@disturbance.dhs.org]

Greetings:

Is there an easy way to surpress all whitespace output from DTML?
Essentially, I have a situation where DTML is used for a crutch to do some
simple logical things, but where most of the interesting stuff happens in
external methods. There are a few lines of DTML that actually produce
useful output, but I am getting a TON of whitespace before my interesting
output that I need to surpress.

Thanks for any replies,

Bryan
