Keeps line and indentation on remove()

When I remove an indented element that makes up the whole line it preserves the line and the indentation. This makes a document with many remove() look dirty, since it’s filled with indented whitespace on empty lines.

    <span>lorem ipsum</span>

It should IMO remove the line if all the contents is gone.

Not saying it would be hard to add to Yeoman, obviously it’s not, just would be a nice convenience in Cheerio, not having to evaluate the options, add as dep, import it, look up the API and the finally beautify, but whatever.

<div>
    <div id="test">dsf</div>
</div>

This is a div element with three children. A textnode containing a newline and 4 spaces, a div element with an id of “test”, and a textnode containing a newline. Removing the div child element does not (and should not) remove the text nodes.

I do understand what you want, you want the HTML resulting from Cheerio to be reformatted accoring to your preferred style. However this is not (currently) a functional goal of Cheerio, and is functionality that can best be achieved by processing the output of Cheerio with another function. I would recommend the mature and stable js-beautify) for HTML post-processing. It provides a number of options to format HTML to your standards
