            StripDirective

Implementation of the py:strip template directive.

When the value of the py:strip attribute evaluates to True, the element is stripped from the output

>>> from genshi.template import MarkupTemplate
>>> tmpl = MarkupTemplate('''<div xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/">
...   <div py:strip="True"><b>foo</b></div>
... </div>''')
>>> print(tmpl.generate())
<div>
  <b>foo</b>
</div>

Leaving the attribute value empty is equivalent to a truth value.

This directive is particulary interesting for named template functions or match templates that do not generate a top-level element:

>>> tmpl = MarkupTemplate('''<div xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/">
...   <div py:def="echo(what)" py:strip="">
...     <b>${what}</b>
...   </div>
...   ${echo('foo')}
... </div>''')
>>> print(tmpl.generate())
<div>
    <b>foo</b>
</div>
