Django Smart Spaceless

PyPI version Build status

Django Smart Spaceless is a Django template tag application for minifying block-level HTML elements only.

It’s just like spaceless, but preserves white space between inline HTML elements. Useful for HTML where spaces directly between <a>, <strong>, and other inline elements is likely desired to be preserved. Packages the django-htmlmin project to be used as a template tag.

Install

$ pip install django-smartspaceless

Add to settings.py.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'smartspaceless',
]

Usage

{% load smartspaceless_tags %}

{% smartspaceless %}
<p><a href="#">Link 1</a></p>
<p><a href="#">Link 2</a> <a href="#">Link 3</a></p>
{% endsmartspaceless %}

Result:

<p><a href="#">Link 1</a></p><p><a href="#">Link 2</a> <a href="#">Link 3</a></p>

Note that the space between <a href="#">Link 2</a> and <a href="#">Link 2</a> is preserved. Removing that space would be bad.
