A simple command line tool to minify your HTML, Razor views & Web Forms views. By minifying your HTML on bigger web pages, you will save on bytes that your users need to donwload. Less bytes equal faster web pages & faster web pages equal happy users!

Go from HTML that looks like this:

<h2>
    Admin Menu</h2>
<ul>
    <li>@Html.ActionLink("Edit blog entries", "List", "Admin")</li>
    <li>@Html.ActionLink("View Comments", "CommentList", "Admin")</li>
    <li>@Html.ActionLink("Clear Cache", "ClearCache", "Admin")</li>
</ul>

To HTML that looks like this:

<h2> Admin Menu</h2><ul><li>@Html.ActionLink("Edit blog entries", "List", "Admin")</li><li>@Html.ActionLink("View Comments", "CommentList", "Admin")</li><li>@Html.ActionLink("Clear Cache", "ClearCache", "Admin")</li></ul> 

In order to use from the command line, you simply pass through a folder path that contains all your images. The minifier will process all images in the root and subfolders.

C:\>HtmlMinifier.exe "C:\ImagesFolder"

If you'd like to restrict the number of characters per line and force it to break to the next line, use the minifier with the following optional value (where the number is the max character count).

C:\>HtmlMinifier.exe "C:\ImagesFolder" "60000"

If you'd like to find out how to use this with MSBUILD and your next publish, please follow this link.
