The reason for this is +that HTML tends to be stored in a human readable format, with +indenting, newlines and comments. + +However, all of these comments, whitespace etc. are ignored by +the browser, and needlessly lengthen download times. + +Second, many people are using WYSIWYG HTML editors these days. +This makes creating content easy. However these editors can +cause a number of compatibility problems by tying themselves to +a particular browser or operating system. + +The HTML::Clean module encapsulates a number of HTML optimizations +and cleanups. The end result is HTML that loads faster, displays +properly in more browsers. Think of it as a compiler that +translates HTML input into optimized machine readable code. + +-- Alex Kapranoff <kapr@crosswinds.net> |
