Remove all white spaces between any tags

See original GitHub issue

I have complete control over my HTML code and I really need to remove all spaces between all type of elements: block level and inline level — now white spaces collapses only between block level elements.

Is there a way to remove all spaces between all tags completely?

(I’m using grunt-contrib-htmlmin v0.3.0 Grunt plugin which is a wrapper of HTML minifier)

I’ve found similar issues like #273, but I still got spaces between <button> or <span> tags.

Btw, here is a quick fix, using gulp-replace (just add this after .pipe(htmlmin(...))):

.pipe(replace(/>\s+</g, '><'))

Following, white-spaces around inline tag might remove, isn’t it? (need to add new options like removeInlineTagWhitespace)

// https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier/blob/gh-pages/src/htmlminifier.js#L59
-      || (prevTag.substr(0, 1) === '/' && tags.indexOf(prevTag.substr(1)) === -1))) {
+      || (prevTag.substr(0, 1) === '/' && (options.removeInlineTagWhitespace || tags.indexOf(prevTag.substr(1)) === -1)))) {

// https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier/blob/gh-pages/src/htmlminifier.js#L64
-      || (nextTag.substr(0, 1) !== '/' && tags.indexOf(nextTag) === -1))) {
+      || (nextTag.substr(0, 1) !== '/' && (options.removeInlineTagWhitespace || tags.indexOf(nextTag) === -1)))) {
