HTML for Report 6 (All Tickets By Milestone (Including Closed)) (and probably others) is excessively wasteful

[anonymous]

Here is an example of the generated page:

   <td class="ticket"><a title="View ticket" href="/trac/ticket/1422">#1422</a></td>
   
         
   

         

 
         
           
 
   <td class="summary"><a title="View ticket" href="/trac/ticket/1422">TypeError in trial</a></td>
           
         

           
         
   
      
         
          
       
   <td class="component"></td>

A page with 1420 tickets came out to 2 megabytes. When replacing every occurance of " " with "" in the generated HTML, the page came to only 1 megabyte.

#3131 was marked as duplicate of this ticket. It dug into the problem more and suggested a fix.

the 'display:block' css attribute causes a newline after every link in a 'description' column in the report view.

this can be fixed by removing line 36 from report.css:

.tickets tbody td :link, .tickets tbody td :visited { display: block }

i only checked this with firefox 1.5, not sure how this works with other browsers.

no, it is not the same issue.

i think this ticket can be solved by removing the indenting from the templates/*.cs files.

what i was refering to is how the browser renders links in the 'Description' field in a report. … see my new note with #3131

The reports rendered by the Genshi template in 0.11 don't have this problem, thanks to the whitespace stripping done while rendering to xhtml (see ​genshi:source:/trunk/genshi/output.py).
