Answer 1

Following the history from the pull request to add this feature it looks like this is the correct syntax:

<h4> {{~#object~}}  Surrounding whitespace would be removed.  {{/object}} </h4> 

Result:

<h4>Surrounding whitespace would be removed.</h4> 

There is also this syntax which trims only leading whitespace:

<h4> {{~#object}}  Only leading whitespace would be removed.  {{/object}} </h4> 

Result:

<h4>Only leading whitespace would be removed. </h4>
