# {% spaceless %}

removes irrelevant whitespace between HTML tags.

## Documentation

Removes irrelevant whitespace between HTML tags.

### Template

```django
{% spaceless %}
<p>
  <small class="text-muted">
    Created on: {{ joke.created }}
    Last updated: {{ joke.updated }}
  </small>
</p>
{% endspaceless %}
```

### Result

```django
<p><small class="text-muted">
    Created on:
    Last updated:
  </small></p>
```

Notice that the whitespace within the `small` element has not been removed. Only whitespace between successive opening tags and successive closing tags is removed.
