hi boosters

I would like to propose one more algorithm to SAL -- squeeze. It removes leading/trailing spaces and duplicate spaces between words. So sample string " This is \n\n a test \n" become "This is\na test". I use this function with XML/HTML related code to 'normalize' content... Hope this will help to smbd else ;)

Thank, this seems like a good idea. I will put it to my todo list. In regard to XML/HTML I'm also planing to add some support for transformation of characters like <, > to < > It is quite easy to do it now, but it can be done more conviniently. Stay tuned. Regards, Pavol
