### Description
I have ng schematics template `__name@dasherize__.component.html` with content :
> <% for (let row of getComponents().rows) { %>
>
> <% for (let field of row.fields) { %>
> <% if (field.type === 'InputStrxing') { %>
>
>
>
> <% } %>
> <% } %>
>
> <% } %>
I build it with :
npm run build
schematics .:ui-generator --name=hello
Generated code creates empty lines on place where is put command "<%" in template, see:

Is there anyway these white spaces can be avoided. If we have to do it manually, it might kill the purpose of this code generator tool
### Minimal Reproduction
Write a schematic template code with inline code <% inline code %>. Then build and generate code using commands
npm run build
schematics .:ui-generator --name=hello
We can see generated code is having while spaces wherever inline code is present.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the blank lines from the inline <% ... %> schematic template using npm run build and schematics .:ui-generator --name=hello. Start by tracing how Angular CLI schematics render template commands, then verify that generated output omits command-only whitespace while preserving the surrounding content.
