 # Directories to search for templates, relative to the crate root.

 ```
 
+In the default configuration, you can use the `-` operator to indicate that
+whitespace should be suppressed before or after a block. For example:
+
+```jinja
+<div>
+
+
+{%- if something %}
+Hello

+In the template above, only the whitespace between `<div>` and `{%-` will be
+suppressed. If you enable `suppress_whitespace`, whitespace characters before
+and after each block will be suppressed by default. To preserve the whitespace
+characters, you can use the `+` operator:
