How to avoid newlines in Jinja? Docs + optional jinja function #3317

Open Matvey-Kuk opened 10 months ago

What would you like to see!

Customers are struggling with newlines when they are writing complicated Jinja templates with if's and else's. They format code with newlines & those newlines show up in the rendered results because that's the way Jinja works.

The problem I see is that user was confused & were not able to find the right answer to his question "how to avoid new lines".

I propose: Improve documentation https://grafana.com/docs/oncall/latest/jinja2-templating/ & address this issue, maybe add Jinja function to trim new lines so users will be able to use it explicitly, add it to the cheetsheet in the product.
