# grunt-contrib-htmlmin v0.3.0 [![Build Status: Linux](https://travis-ci.org/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-htmlmin.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-htmlmin)
> Minify HTML
## Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt `~0.4.0`
If you haven't used [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) before, be sure to check out the [Getting Started](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) guide, as it explains how to create a [Gruntfile](http://gruntjs.com/sample-gruntfile) as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
```shell
npm install grunt-contrib-htmlmin --save-dev
```
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
```js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-htmlmin');
```
## Htmlmin task
_Run this task with the `grunt htmlmin` command._
Minifies HTML using [html-minifier](https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier). Bugs regarding the output should be reported [here](https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier/issues/new).
### Options
See the html-minifier [options](https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier#options-quick-reference).
#### Example config
```javascript
grunt.initConfig({
htmlmin: { // Task
dist: { // Target
options: { // Target options
removeComments: true,
collapseWhitespace: true
},
files: { // Dictionary of files
'dist/index.html': 'src/index.html', // 'destination': 'source'
'dist/contact.html': 'src/contact.html'
}
},
dev: { // Another target
files: {
'dist/index.html': 'src/index.html',
'dist/contact.html': 'src/contact.html'
}
}
}
});
grunt.registerTask('default', ['htmlmin']);
