Strip whitespace in HTML

[IAmChris]

It would be great if there was an option to strip the whitespace in the HTML output. It would further help to optimise load times.

What do you think?

There was a tool for that back in the 2.3 days, not sure if it's still an IP.Board feature though.

It would be nice since it seems a waste not to do it since so many other aspects of IPB are optimised.

While it may sound nice on the surface, it's useless if you're already using Gzip (which is much more efficient at this sort of thing anyways). Gzip transparently strips whitespace while compressing the page, however the final result once gunzipped retains the whitespace for easier source code viewing. win-win

That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up. :)
