# HtmlPress ![Gem Version](https://fury-badge.herokuapp.com/rb/html_press.png) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/stereobooster/html_press.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/stereobooster/html_press) [![Dependency Status](https://gemnasium.com/stereobooster/html_press.png?travis)](https://gemnasium.com/stereobooster/html_press) [![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/badge.png)](https://codeclimate.com/github/stereobooster/html_press)

## How it works

Remove all whitespace junk. Leave only HTML

```

1.               ┌――――――――――――――――――╖        2.         ┌――――――――――――――――――╖

  ●――――――――――――――├―╢  ws junk ║          ●――――――――├―――――――――╢  ║

                 └――――――――――――――――――╜                   └――――――――――――――――――╜

```

## TODO

  - use parser ([鋸](https://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri)) instead of regexp's

    - add option to convert relative urls to absolute urls (for SEO)

  - [ambigious ampersands](http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/ambiguous-ampersands) for compression?

  - Support other js/css minifiers (Closure, YUI compressor)

  - htmlTydi

  - Rack plugin

  - add script to benchmark real projects like amazon or stackoverflow

  - support html5 tags

  - add more options

  - Optimization: make substring replace based on substring length and its position in initial string
