htmlclean

HTMLCLEAN(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					      HTMLCLEAN(1)

NAME

       htmlclean - a small script to clean up existing HTML

SYNOPSIS

       htmlclean [-v] [-V] file1 [file2 file3 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This program provides a command-line interface to the HTML::Clean module, which can help you to provide more compatible, smaller HTML files
       at the expense of reducing the human readability of the HTML code.  In some cases you may be able to reduce the size of your HTML by up to
       50%!

       The HTML::Clean library provides a number of features that improve your HTML for browsing and serving:

       htmlclean passes each file given on the command line to the library and writes out the new HTML according to the specified options.  The
       default is to create a backup file and replace the file with cleaned HTML.

       Removing whitespace, Comments and other useless or redundant constructs
       Insuring that font tags work across multiple operating systems

       For full details see the documentations for HTML::Clean itself.

OPTIONS

       "-V"
	   Print the version of the program.

       "-v"
	   Verbose mode. Print out the original and final file sizes, plus the compression percent.  For example:

	     5261   4065 22% /tmp/development-es.html
	     5258   4061 22% /tmp/development-fr.html
	     4651   3683 20% /tmp/development.html

SEE ALSO

       For the library, see HTML::Clean
