The problem is that I can't replace newlines before end tags with a space:<br><br><a href="http://www.emf.net/~estephen/htmlner/whitespacebugs.html">http://www.emf.net/~estephen/htmlner/whitespacebugs.html</a><br><br>Unfortunately mod_strip doesn't support look-ahead. When it encounters a newline, it has to decide what to do with it before examining subsequent characters (that is, before examining whether the newline precedes an end tag).<br>
<br>Short of rewriting to support look-ahead, maybe I could support options:<br><br>location ... {<br> strip on;<br> strip_characters tabs spaces newlines;<br>}<br><br>By default perhaps newlines shouldn't be processed. What do you think? In any event, I will update the docs to reflect this bug.<br>

@Evan Miller<br><br> I built Nginx 0.6.30 with the third party module mod_strip. The problem I<br> am seeing is when mod_strip removes a newline "\n" it does not replace it<br> with a space. Instead, the last word of one line is jammed next to the<br>
first word of the next line. If it helps I am writing the HTML files by<br> hand using the editor, "vi".<br><br> For example, The following text is on two lines and entered as:<br><br> This is a test<br> Allow me to explain<br>
<br><br> When mod_strip encounters the newline at "test\n" then both lines are<br> joined, but the words "test" and "Allow" are jammed together:<br><br> This is a testAllow me to explain<br><br>
Perhaps when a newline is seen mod_strip should add a space and check for<br> double spaces afterward?<br><br><br> BTW, everything else mod_strip touches is formated correctly and I have had<br> no issues with any other facet of the program. If there is a fix I would be<br>
happy to test it.<br><br> Thanks for your time.<br><br><br> --<br> Calomel @ <a href="http://calomel.org">http://calomel.org</a><br> Open Source Research and Reference<br><br><br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all">
