   2  Trim whitespace plugin

   5 MediaGoblin templates are written with 80 char limit for better
   6 readability. However that means that the HTML output is very verbose
   7 containing *lots* of whitespace. This plugin inserts a middleware that
   8 filters out whitespace from the returned HTML in the ``Response()``
   9 objects.

  11 Simply enable this plugin by putting it somewhere where Python can reach
  12 it and put it's path into the ``[plugins]`` section of your
  13 ``mediagoblin.ini`` or ``mediagoblin_local.ini`` like for example this:
  14
  15 .. code-block:: ini
  16
  17     [plugins]
  18     [[mediagoblin.plugins.trim_whitespace]]
  19
  20 There is no further configuration required. If this plugin is enabled,
  21 all *text/html* documents should not have lots of whitespace in between
  22 elements, although it does a very naive filtering right now (just keep
  23 the first whitespace and delete all subsequent ones).
  24
  25 Nonetheless, it is a useful plugin that might serve as inspiration for
  26 other plugin writers.
