HTML Purifier preserve spaces

Is there anyway to make HTML Purifier preserve the implict spaces that would typically be seen in rendered HTML?

For example you would typically expect a space between Foo and Bar in these following cases:

Foo<br/>Bar

Example 1

<div>Foo</div><div>Bar</div>

Example 2

Looks like HTMLPurifier is not removing whitespace, it's removing the tags all together because it doesn't recognize them (which is weird).

In regards to Foo<br/>Bar

  • Error Line 1, Column 3: Unrecognized <br /> tag removed

In regards to <div>Foo</div><div>Bar</div>

  • Error Line 1, Column 0: Unrecognized <div> tag removed
  • Error Line 1, Column 8: Unrecognized </div> tag removed
  • Error Line 1, Column 14: Unrecognized <div> tag removed
  • Error Line 1, Column 22: Unrecognized </div> tag removed

You can see this by enabling CollectErrors on the Live Demo.

Maybe try allowing div, and br: http://htmlpurifier.org/live/configdoc/plain.html#HTML.AllowedElements

Here are the results from the Live Demo:

I have a cruel plan - replace any tag closing ">" to space and remove double spaces

<?php
$text = '<div>test</div><div>me</div>';

$text = preg_replace('/(<\/[a-z]+>)/', '$1 ', $text);
$text = trim(preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ', strip_tags($text)));

var_dump($text);

Returns

string(7) "test me"
