Remove Multiple New Lines with JavaScript
I'm blessed in that lots of people want to guest post on this blog. It's really flattering and I love seeing writers get a bunch of attention after writing. My task is converting the blog post, in whatever format it's provided in (HTML, Markdown, PDF, Google Doc, etc.), to HTML for my blog, which can sometimes get messy.

![MooTools HTML Police: dwMarkupMarine]()
We've all inherited rubbish websites from webmasters that couldn't master valid HTML. You know the horrid markup: paragraph tags with align attributes and body tags with background attributes. It's almost a sin what they do. That's where dwMarkupMarine comes in.
David,
I’m more inclined to use something like:
Only there always seems to be some extra whitespace between those newlines. If you don’t want to loose the tabs on the next line then this works just as well
