Well an example would be the default page that appears in web2py (reached
by, for example, http://127.0.0.1:8000/welcome/default/index), there is a
large amount of spaces in there that needlessly inflate the file; in that
file, for example, there is this:
<h3>Hello World</h3>
<h4>How did you get here?</h4>
<ol>
<li>You are successfully running web2py</li>
<li>You visited the url <a href="/welcome/default/index">
/welcome/default/index</a></li>
<li>Which called the function <a href="#">index()</a> located in the file
<a href="/admin/default/peek/welcome/controllers/default.py">
web2py/applications/welcome/controllers/default.py</a></li>
<li>The output of the file is a dictionary that was rendered by the view
<a href="/admin/default/peek/welcome/views/default/index.html">
web2py/applications/welcome/views/default/index.html</a></li>
<li>You can modify this application and adapt it to your needs</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="span3">
