Re: [Zope] trailing whitespace optimization
Fellas, I got it to work :) I used the rstrip method from the string module to trim trailing whitespace from the end of each line whenever a document template gets saved. I tested it with DTML Documents and Methods, which both worked fine. It doesn't affect properties, so if you need to render trailing whitespace for some reason you could store that as a property. The mods are listed below. If you use it, let me know what you think and I'll write it up.

Re: [Zope] trailing whitespace optimization
Hi Paul, You're right about the size of files with trailing blanks. I had a file of over 1 meg yesterday, and when I striped all the blanks it was only 47K, pretty radical reduction. There is an external Python method that is part of the zope Extenions library, it should be in something called /opt/zope/Extensions/ called strip_blanks.py. You can attach it to your zope session, then it is called via: This will at least strip all the trailing blanks from an individual variable. ciao! greg.

I know, HTML is supposed to ignore whitespace, but there could be various reasons you would want to keep trailing spaces. Really, your best solution is to stop being to slack, and remove the spaces yourself!

[Zope] trailing whitespace optimization
I'm noticing that our file sizes could be reduced by 10% or more by trimming trailing whitespace. Is there a way to get Zope to do that automatically? It would be best if Zope did it whenever a method was saved. Thanks in advance, -Paul __ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!
