Rhtml produces so many white places?

Rails
1

Hi,

I have a rhtml file that uses some ruby code inside,
there are not too ruby codes, but it repeats itself
thousands of time. I find out each time when the ruby
code execute, it will produce the html code correctly.
But the produced html will conseved the “format” of
the rhtml, and it adds a lot no used white space!!!
example : toto.rhtml

<% data.each{ |x| %> <% y = x.methode1 %> <% z = x.methode2 %>
<%= y %>
<%= z %>

So if data has 3000 rolls, I will have a html like
this:

.....
y1
z1
y2
z2
y3
z3

I have a lot of white space and each white space is
8byte, so my html file has almost 6meg instead of 2.5
meg (without white space)

Can someone know how shoulf I remove all the white
space???

Thanks you very much

Saiho

Hey, in your <% %> tags end them with -%> and that’ll supress the
extra carriage return.

Each time you’ve got ruby code closed off with %> at the end of a line,
replace it with -%>. That makes the processor consume the following
newline, which should make things a little easier. Also, you can join
successive <% %> blocks together - you don’t need a separate tag for
each line. I’d write your block above as follows:

<% data.each do |x| y = x.methode1 z = x.methode2 -%> <% end -%>
<%= y %>
<%= z %>

Or possibly, simpler:

<% data.each do |x| -%> <% end -%>
<%= x.methode1 %>
<%= x.methode2 %>

the -%> works great with the end of a line, but is
there something that I can remove the white space at
the begining of the line, bacause if the ruby code it
placed after 3 tab ( for code visibility) the html
will also have 3 tab added. it is possible to remove
that also?
No, but you could put the indentation inside the <% %> tags…

Could you content_for_layout.gsub!(/ /,’’) ?

Or maybe you’d need to do this lots of times…

Hadn’t thought of that. You’d probably want to do something more along
the lines of .gsub(/\s+/, ’ ') so that individual spaces don’t get
clobbered. I’ve got no idea how long it’ll take on a 3+MB string,
though…

Don’t do this! It will also remove spaces in your text that you want
to show up on the page.

There is no such thing. HTML clobbers spaces anyway, so runs of more
than one
consecutive spaces will be show as a single space.

Not in
