Greg! An important thing to note is that you should not use such stripping

The following line is crucial:

$code = $result = preg_replace('/<!--\s.+?\s-->/s', '', $html); // Strip HTML Comments

It will make your markup incompatible with many browsers. How? I will explain. Suppose your site is not appearing fine in IE6 , but it is fine on all other browsers. So, you need to ask IE6 to do something extra to make your page look atleast acceptible. You can give such instructions inside . This is called conditional comments. You can incluse CSS files, JS files, Apply CSS, or anything you want.

Here is a detailed post on this topic (specifically on conditional comments): http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html

Thank you for sharing - it is always interesting to see how others approach requirements such as this...

I've had good luck doing similar with the html tidy extension in PHP:

Though - I'm not quite sure what it would do to contents within the pre tags - some experimentation is likely necessary with the different options / flags available here:
