    How to remove whitespace from PHP output and preserve indentation

    I have the below code and I'm working how I would go about getting it to align at the left and remove all the white space while keeping the formatting/indenting in place?

    Edit: Its all contained in a PHP variable and once all is generated its echoed to screen.
    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
        <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
        <head>
        <title>Site</title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
        <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />

      This is not a PHP question. Moving to HTML.

          This is a PHP question as the source is being output by PHP, its all contained in a PHP variable and once all is generated its echoed to screen.

              What computer screen are you using? Because you see it on your screen, it's a problem with your screen.

                  Computer screen? What does that have to do with it?

                  The source is being generated with whitespace at the being of every line except the first line. I just want to remove the whitespace at the beginning of each line and preserve the indent formatting through the rest of the source code.

                      You want to remove the whitespace, but keep whitespace... I assume you men you just want to get rid of the tab at the start of every line? If so:

                      Code:
                      echo str_replace("\n\t", "\n", $content);
