Enter in source code causes whitespace
<p>How can I remove the white space brought by Enter character in html source code? This becomes important when I have <strong>inline asp code</strong> with <strong>html</strong> and I want to generate e.g. this number 5 by a Sql query and I want to write the Sql in a separate lines. </p>

<p>Should I use third language as well as <strong>Javascript</strong> or <strong>CSS</strong> or there is any tricks in <strong>HTML</strong> or <strong>ASP</strong> (or <strong>PHP</strong>) themselves?</p>

<p>Sample inline asp code:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
orders (
&lt;%sql="select count(*) as total from orders"
recordset.open sql,objConnection
response.wrire rs("total")
rs.close
%&gt;
)
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Please run this snippet:</p>

<p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true">
<div class="snippet-code">
<pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>orders (
5
)

&lt;br&gt;

orders (5)</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</p>
