Delete empty lines in the final HTML

Question

The HTML output of my Jekyll project is filled with whitespace. What is the easiest way to delete empty lines in the HTML output of Jekyll? Is there a hook I can use?

I'm searching for the right place/hook so that jekyll build takes care about everything.

Where is the proper hook to implement that in the Jekyll workflow? — wintermeyer, Jan 21 '15 at 20:32

https://github.com/aucor/jekyll-plugins/blob/master/strip.rb works like a charm. Thank you @AlexGoretoy ! — wintermeyer, Jan 21 '15 at 20:44

There is a useful plugin for this: https://github.com/aucor/jekyll-plugins/blob/master/strip.rb

Once it is installed in the _plugins directory you just have to add the following bracket to _layouts/default.html

{% strip %}

[...]

{% endstrip %}
