Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 20,944 PointsNo idea where I'm going wrong here. Help much appreciated. Here's my code: https://github.com/MulhollandCode/treehouse/
No idea.
from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
class User:
email = None
user = User()
user.email = 'kenneth@teamtreehouse.com'
return render_template('user.html', user=user)
{% macro hide_email(User) %}
<div>
{{ hide = User.email[0] }}
{% for i in range(1, User.email.index('@')) %}
{{ hide += '*' }}
{% endfor %}
{{ hide += `User.email[User.email.index('@'):] }}
<div>{{ hide }}</div>
</div>
{% endmacro %}

{% macro hide_email(User) %}
{{ User.email[0] }}
{% for i in range(1, User.email.index('@')) %}
{{ '*' }}
{% endfor %}
{{ User.email[User.email.index('@'):] }}
{% endmacro %}
This gets you most of the way there: k * * * * * * @treehouse.com, but there are extra spaces. Remove the space by adding minus ("-") signs inside the template tags and variables to indicate no whitespace:
{% macro hide_email(User) %}
{{ User.email[0] -}}
{% for i in range(1, User.email.index('@')) %}
{{- '*' -}}
{% endfor %}
{{- User.email[User.email.index('@'):] }}
{% endmacro %}
