HTML Compactor

[Jeremy Ross]

Hello,

I am looking for a program that will compact my HTML, so its all one one
line, I have seen many of these programs around before but am now unable to
find one that does this. If anyone knows of one that would be great.

Thanks,

Jeremy Ross

perl -p -e's/\n/\ /' my.html

.... utterly pointless of course.

(get Perl from http://www.activestate.com/ if you don't have it already)

Why?

Gazing into my crystal ball I observed Blinky the Shark

Why?

Probably to "hide" it or make it difficult to view source.

Probably to "hide" it or make it difficult to view source.

Which is pointless since:
(a) Good HTML is *very* simple and not worth copying
and
(b) HTML Tidy can make it readable again rather quickly

FWIW, Notetab Lite (free from www.notetab.com) will do this. Use the replace
function to replace "^p" with nothing and you're done.

Hello,

The real reason for wanting something like this, is because there is a
program that uses the nl2br function in php, witch creates a <br> tag at
every new line, now i am placing a table inside this function, witch is
formated wiht each cell on a new line, so there are loads of <br> tages
being placed in the code, and the table is moving down many lines because of
this.

I need that program to make it all on one line so there are no <br> tags
being placed.

Thanks,
Jeremy

In that case you don't need compaction, you need to edit the file and delete
some of the BR tags.

Or you should stop using the program that's replacing all newlines with
<br>. Why are you using such a thing?

You saying you just want to remove some text? Do a global find <br> and
replace with nothing at all... Using a text editor? Try command F or alt F
or control F or look up the menus for this function... In mine, for example,
one can change all instances in docs in a folder, I'm sure you would be able
to.

You have to be careful using programs that do this. Sadly, some browsers
(ahem, IE) are sensitive to line breaks. Remove line breaks in nested
tables (for example) can cause "gaps" to appear or disappear.
