HTML Text Filter (Htmlfltr.exe)

Server-only: This tool is included in the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit only.

HTML Text Filter is a command-line tool that removes comments and extra white space from HTML files, decreasing browser load time and improving performance. If a directory is specified, HTML Text Filter compresses uncompressed ASP, HTM, and HTML files, recursing to all subdirectories if /S is specified. If a file (or file pattern with wildcard characters) is specified, it compresses all matching files.
