Greetings,To save response size of content delivered
over the web, I am looking for a way to return
templates written like this :
-----8<----------
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
This is tabbed text
<br>
Here is the next line that starts with
spaces.</body>
</html>
----8<-----------------
To output to the browser like:
----8<----------------
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
This is tabbed text
<br>
Here is the next line that starts with spaces.
</body>
</html>
----8<-------------------The output would be much
cleaner and less readable
using view source and smaller in size to download.
We had an inhouse template parser that had this
functionality.
Is there a way that output generated by velocity can
gobble:
1) leading whitespace, and tabs
2) trim all whitespace and tabs at the end of lines
3) maintain new line characters
4) remove empty lines
all without the various hacks I have seen like using
comment directives at the beginning of lines.
It would be nice to have this be turned on and off via
a property so that developers could always get the
formatted source to help debugging. I realize this may
useful for only
web based templates, but hey it would be very cool
tohave.
Maybe velocity can do this already?
-Peter
