 * Hi Webnus team,
 * we just noted superfluous blanks in the frontend where events are displayed via
   a shortcode. These blanks weren’t there in earlier versions of the plugin and
   we haven’t added them on our own.
 * It is to be found in the event details. The source code generated by MEC / the
   shortcode is exactly as follows:
 *     ```
       <div class="mec-event-detail">
                                   Sunday                            , <span class="mec-event-loc-place">House A</span>                         </div>
       ```
   
 * Between “Sunday” and the comma there are numerous blanks that don’t come from
   us. The browser shows them on the frontend as a single, superfluous blank:
 * “Sunday , House A”
 * The first blank shouldn’t be there. We guess this must be a glitch in the plugin.
   Can you do something about this?
 * Thanks for your great plugin and work,
    -doffine

 * Hello [@doffine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doffine/),
 * Thank you for contacting us.
 * Actually, Installing the optimization plugin(s) will resolve those issues if 
   that includes the HTML minifier feature so that you can find any plugin with 
   this feature on the WordPress repository.

 * Hi [@webnus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webnus/),
 * thanks for coming back to us.
 * Currently we don’t want to use an extra HTML minifier plugin on our websites,
   especially not only to straighten out what another plugin does. Is there a chance
   that you’ll fix your plugin to clean HTML output without superfluous blanks and
   when will that be? We mean, it should not be the task of a clean up plugin to
   output good HTML but it should be your plugin itself outputting no superfluous
   blanks.

 * Hello [@doffine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doffine/),
 * Space between HTML tags will not make a problem for your website, but this topic
   has already been forwarded to the developer team to remove some extra space in
   the HTML structure.
 * Best Regards

 * Hi [@webnus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webnus/),
 * thanks for coming back to us.
 * You are right, blanks between HTML tags are no problem for us. Only superfluous
   blanks that really get displayed in the frontend shouldn’t be there.
 * Thanks for forwarding it to the developers. We are looking forward to the fix.
 * Greetings,
