expressed to the browser (i.e. the end result html, not the original
cfm page). It's a module that wraps a page and compresses it. Normal,
well formatted html in and tight one line html out for the browser (or
search agent) to read. You'll have to take the tag out or uncompress
the html to debug it, but you'd only use the tag on finished code
anyway.

Subject: (OT?) White space and search engines
I'm giving a presentation on RegEx this Wed. and one of the things
I'll be showing is a tight little piece of code that will compress a
webpage by removing all 'extra' spaces (and tabs, new lines, etc.)
from all places other than script and pre tags. I'm under the
impression that if this is done, it will make the page smaller and
also increase the pages search engine position as it makes the entire
page exist on one line (more if script or pre is used).
Can anyone back this impression up with real data?
Thanks
p.s. Yes, the tag will be publicly released as an article in FA and on
the front of HoF as soon as the user group presentation is over.
