What is this?

This package contains info on which HTML elements are whitespace sensitive.

When should I use this?

This is only really needed when minifying HTML.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install html-whitespace-sensitive-tag-names

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {whitespaceSensitiveTagNames} from 'https://esm.sh/html-whitespace-sensitive-tag-names@3'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {whitespaceSensitiveTagNames} from 'https://esm.sh/html-whitespace-sensitive-tag-names@3?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {whitespaceSensitiveTagNames} from 'html-whitespace-sensitive-tag-names'

whitespaceSensitiveTagNames
//=> ['pre', 'script', 'style', 'textarea']

API

This package exports the identifier whitespaceSensitiveTagNames. There is no default export.

whitespaceSensitiveTagNames

List of HTML tag names that are whitespace sensitive (Array<string>).

Syntax

HTML is parsed according to WHATWG HTML (the living standard), which is also followed by all browsers.

Syntax tree

The syntax tree used is hast.

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript.

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, html-whitespace-sensitive-tag-names@^3, compatible with Node.js 16.

Security

As rehype works on HTML and improper use of HTML can open you up to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack, use of rehype can also be unsafe. Use rehype-sanitize to make the tree safe.
