Hi Massimo, Good to know you finally made it! :-) Albeit not knowing where and when to use this new feature, I came up with an HTML Optimizier such as [1], in a dozen lines of web2py code.
[1] http://www.iwebtool.com/html_optimizer [2] Put this inside your controller. def easter(): # This code release in public domain from gluon.html import web2pyHTMLParser form = FORM( TEXTAREA(_name='input'), BR(), INPUT(_type='submit', _value='Optimize!'), ) result = '' if form.accepts(request.vars, keepvalues=True): result = web2pyHTMLParser(form.vars.input).tree return {'':DIV( 'Insert your HTML code to optimize:', form, FIELDSET(PRE(str(result))),)} Well, not exactly an html optimizer, because our version does not strip spaces inside text content. Just for fun. Regards, Iceberg On May25, 4:27am, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > Good suggestion.
