Disable Whitespace (pretty printing)

I'd like to disable all (extra) whitespace generated by CKEditor; i.e. instead of:

<p>
    <b>foo</b> bar
</p>

I want:

<p><b>foo</b> bar</p>

So I don't want spaces, tabs or newlines being inserted -- I'm reparsing the HTML anyway and have no need for prettiness at this point!

Is there a way to switch it all off in one go?

Re: Disable Whitespace (pretty printing)

The solution (hacked together following poking around in the source):

CKEDITOR.on('instanceReady', function(ev)
{
        var dtd = CKEDITOR.dtd;
        for (var e in CKEDITOR.tools.extend({}, dtd.$nonBodyContent, dtd.$block, dtd.$listItem, dtd.$tableContent)) {
                ev.editor.dataProcessor.writer.setRules(e, {
                        indent:           false,
                        breakBeforeOpen:  false,
                        breakAfterOpen:   false,
                        breakBeforeClose: false,
                        breakAfterClose:  false
                }); 
        }   
});

Please let me know if anyone finds a more elegant solution.
