@agriboz whoa, a blast from the past. Now that prettier is a thing I don't really concern myself with these types of problems. Since 2015 there are many good html parsers and I wouldn’t recommend relying on liquid to do anything of the sort.

I say, move nonsense like this to a build step. Also, minifying HTML isn't really a big deal. I mean if you’re nutty about perf you’ll likely need to invest some time into learning how to minify HTML with a webpack, rollup, gulp task (or whatever Ruby alternative).
