Description
-----------

Advanced HTML Optimizer (AHTMLO) is intended for HTML documents
optimizing, resulting in shorter download/upload time. Pages
will appear in client's Internet browser in exactly the same way,
but they will be about 20% smaller.
Its main function is to save space on your web pages by removing
unnecessary characters and tags. Though the saving percentage may
seem small, load time savings is much higher as your client's
Internet browser parses the pages more efficient. Embedded script
code is not ruined by HTML Optimizer!
It'll help you to make site traffic more effective and cheaper
and to lower disk space usage. Also Advanced HTML Optimizer makes
HTML code unreadable for users that are going to steal your own
HTML techniques.
Must-have for Webmasters!

Optimization features:

   - Replacement of simple tags (STRONG with B, EM with I, STRIKE
     with S, BLOCKQUOTE with UL) when specified;
   - Removal of unnecessary tag parameters quotation-marks;
   - Removal of all empty strings;
   - Removal of unnecessary double space symbols;
   - Removal of all CR symbols if such symbols exist;
   - Removal of unnecessary LF symbols;
   - Removal of other unnecessary space and tabulation symbols;
   - Removal of Front Page's <!-- webbot span...> tags;
   - HTML comments removal.

Other features:

   - Backup file operations;
   - Single pass optimization;
   - File name as command line parameter;
   - Does not require installed browser;
   - Life-time support;
   - User-friendly interface;
   - Install / Uninstall Support;
   - ... and much more.
