You can use this plugin when you want to improve the size of HTML documents.

Example

In

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, user-scalable=yes">
<meta name="keywords" content="foo, bar baz, qux">

Out

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">
<meta name="keywords" content="foo,bar baz,qux">

Syntax

HTML is handled according to WHATWG HTML (the living standard), which is also followed by browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.

Syntax tree

The syntax tree format used is hast.

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript.

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 12.20+, 14.14+, and 16.0+. Our projects sometimes work with older versions, but this is not guaranteed.

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.
