## NAME
       htmlclean - a small script to clean up existing HTML

## SYNOPSIS
### htmlclean [-v] [-V] file1 [file2 file3 ...]

## DESCRIPTION
       This program provides a command-line interface to the [HTML::Clean](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/HTML%3A%3AClean/markdown) module, which can help you
       to provide more compatible, smaller HTML files at the expense of reducing the human
       readability of the HTML code.  In some cases you may be able to reduce the size of your HTML
       by up to 50%!

       The [HTML::Clean](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/HTML%3A%3AClean/markdown) library provides a number of features that improve your HTML for browsing and
       serving:

       **htmlclean** passes each file given on the command line to the library and writes out the new
       HTML according to the specified options.  The default is to create a backup file and replace
       the file with cleaned HTML.

       Removing whitespace, Comments and other useless or redundant constructs
       Insuring that font tags work across multiple operating systems

       For full details see the documentations for [HTML::Clean](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/HTML%3A%3AClean/markdown) itself.

## OPTIONS
       "-V"
           Print the version of the program.

       "-v"
           Verbose mode. Print out the original and final file sizes, plus the compression percent.
           For example:

             5261   4065 22% /tmp/development-es.html
             5258   4061 22% /tmp/development-fr.html
             4651   3683 20% /tmp/development.html
