Django Smart Spaceless is a Django <https://www.djangoproject.com/>_ template tag <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/howto/custom-template-tags/>_ application for minifying block-level HTML elements only.
It's just like |spaceless|, but preserves white space between inline HTML elements. Useful for HTML where spaces directly between <a>, <strong>, and other inline elements is likely desired to be preserved. Packages the django-htmlmin <https://github.com/cobrateam/django-htmlmin> project to be used as a template tag.

$ pip install django-smartspaceless
Add to settings.py.
.. code-block:: python
INSTALLED_APPS = [ # ... 'smartspaceless', ]
.. code-block:: django
{% load smartspaceless_tags %}
{% smartspaceless %}
{% endsmartspaceless %}Result:
.. code-block:: html
The space between <a href="#">Link 2</a> and <a href="#">Link 3</a> is preserved. Removing that space would be bad.
Please note that django-htmlmin <https://github.com/cobrateam/django-htmlmin>_ by default uses the html5lib <https://github.com/html5lib/html5lib-python>_ parser, which prepends possibly missing <html><head></head><body> and appends possibly missing </body></html> tags in an effort to create valid HTML. The template tag changes this default behavior to use html.parser <https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/#installing-a-parser>_, the HTML parser in Python's standard library, which does not alter HTML fragments.
