 PrettyTime p = new PrettyTime();
 String prettyDate = p.format(dateParam);

```

I can't figure out if I'm doing something wrong in this tag.

The PrettyTime library is supposed to just print a text version of a data, e.g.: 

```
10 months ago

```

But I can't tell why this custom tag produces **11 lines of blank text** before the "pretty" date in the HTML output?
