In AnQiCMS template development, we often encounter situations where we need to process strings, one common requirement is to remove whitespace characters at the beginning of the string.This may be to make the page display cleaner, avoid unnecessary spacing, or to ensure uniformity of data in different environments.AnQiCMS provides convenient and easy-to-use filters (Filters) to help us easily complete this kind of string operation.

So, what is the filter to remove all leading whitespace characters in the AnQiCMS template? The answer istrimLeft.

trimLeftA filter is specifically used to remove whitespace characters from the left side (i.e., the beginning) of a string. The whitespace characters include not only the conventional spaces but also tabs (\t), and newline characters (\nEnsure that the text content displayed in the template starts from the first valid character and does not contain any leading whitespace, making the output more standardized and professional.
