The HTML spat out from a view has a lot of empty spaces and empty lines.

What and where do I need to type to make grails not to generate the empty spaces or empty lines?

Thanks!

Just for example. I have an empty domain. And then use generate-all to create all the controller and view. This is the HTML spat out from the index.gsp. If you use your mouse to highlight the HTML, you will see a lot of empty spaces.

  • "The HTML spat out from a view has a lot of empty spaces and empty lines." - You get to control the content of the response. "What and where do I need to type to make grails not to generate the empty spaces or empty lines?" - Can you show an example of some code that generates unwanted empty lines? – Jeff Scott Brown Oct 23 '21 at 17:40
  • I edited my question to copy and paste the HTML to my question. – tom6502 Oct 23 '21 at 18:44
  • I see the question has been updated with more info. I think you are asking the same question as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18735312/render-gsp-view-as-compact-html-file. – Jeff Scott Brown Oct 24 '21 at 14:40
  • The question they answered were 3 years old. They are all outdated. None of the answers works no more. – tom6502 Oct 24 '21 at 23:43
  • Agreed. I was pointing out that I think this question is a duplicate. I wasn't making a comment about the answers. – Jeff Scott Brown Oct 25 '21 at 15:59
