minification removes all spaces between tags

[weshardee]

This means potential layout issues between development and production since whitespace is significant in html. Rather than eliminating them entirely, spaces should be collapsed to a single sequential space to better reflect how html is handled by browsers.

[weshardee]

At the very least, better documentation should be provided as to which html-minifier options are enabled by default and how to customize them.

@weshardee, you can use all html-minifier options. Use conservativeCollapse option in query.
I use { test: /\.html$/, loader: "html-loader?conservativeCollapse" } in combination with new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({minimize: true}) in production. It works like you want.

Thanks. I was able to piece that together eventually by reading the code, but it would be nice for others to have this info in the readme, along with the list of default html-minifier options that are enabled.

Now that the defaults have been changed, how can I restore the old behavior? I actually depended on minification removing all spaces between tags.

Never mind.. html?minimize=true&conservativeCollapse=false
