@cbpuschmann Sports events tend to have a “sudden” & “simple” result/ending, which makes them easy to add to a Wiki, whereas news develops.

@mahemoff My thoughts put into beautiful words…
@rauschma It just feels like there should be a native flag, à la
const x = `indented
multiline string
${a ? a : b}`oneLineNoIndent;
@rauschma Including a library for just this purpose seems overkill, I’m aware of github.com/declandewet/co…. How about directly .replace()-ing?
@rauschma What’s your recommendation for removing line breaks/white space in
const x = `ex.org
?longKey=${longValue}`
