how can I remove unwanted code from post pages?

[shortbus1662]

What can be removed from the source code of a forum?

All of this stuff shows up when you view source and I'd prefer to have anything removed that I can remove and store anything else in files that I can.

This would improve search engine ranking be increasing my content to code ratio.
It would also speed up the loading of the site.

I have no idea what can be removed and what can't. For instance:

no one has any input?

Most of that code is necessary javascript for WYSIWYG editor and necessary CSS to style the page.

[Lynne]

Just create a child style and then remove that stuff in the templates for the child style and then you can see if the page still works.

Why do you want to do this ?

[shortbus1662]

so I could get rid of some of that by making the default editor the basic one?

I just want to increase the content to code ratio of the pages and get rid of any code that is not necessary for the forum.
