Check out a working copy of the source code with [Git](http://git-scm.com), or install `inliner` via [npm](http://npmjs.org) (the recommended way). The latter will also install `inliner` into the system's `bin` path.
$ git clone https://github.com/remy/inliner.git
$ npm install inliner -g
Or
$ git clone https://github.com/remy/inliner.git
`inliner` uses a `package.json` to describe the dependancies, and if you install via a github clone, ensure you run `npm install` from the `inliner` directory to install the dependancies (or manually install [jsdom](https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom "tmpvar/jsdom - GitHub") and [uglify-js](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS "mishoo/UglifyJS - GitHub")).
## Usage
### via npm
If you installed via npm, then you can use inliner via the command line as per:
If you have either installed via npm or put the inliner bin directory in your path, then you can use inliner via the command line as per:
inliner http://remysharp.com
This will output the inlined markup. You can easily save this to a new file for testing:
This will output the inlined markup with default options. You can see more options on how to disable compression or how not to base64 encode images using the help:

To use inline inside your script:
To use inline inside your own script:
var inliner = require('inliner');
var Inliner = require('inliner');
inliner('http://remysharp.com', function (html) {
new Inliner('http://remysharp.com', function (html) {
// compressed and inlined HTML page
console.log(html);
});
Or:
var inliner = new Inliner('http://remysharp.com');
inliner.on('progress', function (event) {
console.error(event);
}).on('end', function (html) {
// compressed and inlined HTML page
console.log(html);
});
Note that if you include the inliner script via a git submodule, it requires jsdom to be installed via `npm install jsdom`, otherwise you should be good to run.
I plan to include a web service at some point, but obviously this won't be able to access localhost domains.
Note that if you include the inliner script via a git submodule, it requires jsdom & uglifyjs to be installed via `npm install jsdom uglify-js`, otherwise you should be good to run.
Once you've inlined the crap out of the page, add the `manifest="self.appcache"` to the `html` tag and create an empty file called self.appcache ([read more](http://remysharp.com/2011/01/31/simple-offline-application/)).
## Support
- Collapses all white space in HTML
- Collapses all white space in HTML (except inside <pre> elements)
- Strips all HTML comments
- Pulls JavaScript and CSS inline to HTML
- Compresses JavaScript via uglify (if not compressed already)

## Limitations / Caveats
- Whitespace compression might get a little heavy handed - all whitespace is collapsed from n spaces to one space.
- Compresses whitespace inside of `<pre>` elements
