@wolkanca good small code, I would just add to your code before return:
...
$str = preg_replace("/>\s+</m", "><", $str);
...
return $str;

@wolkanca @adammarciszewski Could you guys explain the purpose of adding the additional code which you have suggested? Thanks

@wolkanca @adammarciszewski <3 thanks alot

The code hides YouTube videos. Is there a way to show YT videos?
