Currently we get a lot of big gaps between paragraphs as well as at the beginning and end of articles. The parser generates things like this:

<p><br/> </p><p><br/> </p>

whenever there is a Category or inter-wiki link on a line of its own.

Please could someone modify the parser so that, after taking out the category and inter-wiki links, it removes (ignores) all whitespace at the beginning and end of the article, and reduces sequences of paragraph breaks to a single one?

Thanks, Timwi
