Description
Replicate
Create a new file (index.html):
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<title>Title</title>
<meta name="description" content="Description"/>
<meta name="author" content="Author"/>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello, world!</p>
</body>
</html>
Then run:
tidy -asxml -m -q --wrap 0 --tidy-mark no --vertical-space auto index.html
Expected Results
The self-closing tags resemble:
<meta name="description" content="Description"/>
Actual Results
There's an extraneous space at the end of the HTML element that can be eliminated.
<meta name="description" content="Description" />
Additional Details
An option to trim self-closing tags of unnecessary whitespace would help reduce HTML file sizes.
