NAME
Text::HTML::CollapseWhitespace - remove extraneous whitespace from a fragment
SYNOPSIS
my $tree = XML::LibXML->parse_html_string(
$input,
{ recover => 2, encoding => 'UTF-8' }
);
$tree = collapseWhitespace($tree);FUNCTIONS
collapseWhitespace (%options)
collapseWhitespace( element => $tree,
isVoid => \&_isVoid,
)
our @voidElements = (
'AREA', 'BASE', 'BR', 'COL', 'COMMAND', 'EMBED', 'HR', 'IMG', 'INPUT',
'KEYGEN', 'LINK', 'META', 'PARAM', 'SOURCE', 'TRACK', 'WBR'
);
our %voidElements = map { $_ => 1, lc $_ => 1 } @voidElements;
sub _isVoid( $element ) {
$voidElements{ $element->nodeName }
}This function modifies the tree in-place and removes extraneous whitespace from the elements. The isPre, isVoid and isBlock predicates allow you to customize what elements are recognized as pre , void or block HTML elements if needed.
remove($note)
my $next = remove( $node );remove(node) removes the given node from the DOM and returns the next node in the sequence.
_next(prev, current, isPre)
my $next = _next( $node );returns the next node in the sequence, given the current and previous nodes.
@param {Node} prev @param {Node} current @param {Function} isPre @return {Node}
