# VERSION

Version 2.08

# DESCRIPTION

A HTML Compressor.

# SYNOPSIS

    use HTML::Packer;

    my $packer = HTML::Packer->init();

    $packer->minify( $scalarref, $opts );

To return a scalar without changing the input simply use (e.g. example 2):

    my $ret = $packer->minify( $scalarref, $opts );

For backward compatibility it is still possible to call 'minify' as a function:

    HTML::Packer::minify( $scalarref, $opts );

First argument must be a scalarref of HTML-Code.
Second argument must be a hashref of options. Possible options are

- remove\_comments

    HTML-Comments will be removed if 'remove\_comments' has a true value.  Comments starting with `<!--#`,
    `<!--[` or `<!-- google_ad_section_` will be preserved unless 'remove\_comments\_aggressive' has a true value. 

- remove\_comments\_aggressive

    See 'remove\_comments'.

- remove\_newlines

    ALL newlines will be removed if 'remove\_newlines' has a true value.

- do\_javascript

    Defines compression level for javascript. Possible values are 'clean', 'obfuscate', 'shrink' and 'best'.
    Default is no compression for javascript.
    This option only takes effect if [JavaScript::Packer](https://metacpan.org/pod/JavaScript::Packer) is installed.

- do\_stylesheet

    Defines compression level for CSS. Possible values are 'minify' and 'pretty'.
    Default is no compression for CSS.
    This option only takes effect if [CSS::Packer](https://metacpan.org/pod/CSS::Packer) is installed.

- no\_compress\_comment

    If not set to a true value it is allowed to set a HTML comment that prevents the input being packed.

        <!-- HTML::Packer _no_compress_ -->

    Is not set by default.

- html5

    If set to a true value closing slashes will be removed from void elements.
