Strip-pre-indent NPM

Node-strip-pre-indent

Nodejs module for removing document-level indentation for <pre> blocks.

<html>
    <div>
        <pre>
            ....
        </pre>
    </div>
</html>

becomes

<html>
    <div>
<pre>
    ....
</pre>
    </div>
</html>

Install

npm install strip-indent

Use

const stripIndent = require('strip-pre-indent');

let markup = `
    <html>
        <div>
            <pre>
                ....
            </pre>
        </div>
    </html>
`;

let stripped = stripIndent(markup);

Why?

The official HTML5 spec for <pre> has a critical design failure which treats all whitespace in the <pre> block as formating and will show this in the browser. Unfortunately, your HTML document's own indentation counts as formating too.
