Answer 1

只需使用/ +/g:

$new = document.getElementById('content').innerHTML;

$new = $new.replace(/ +/g,' ');
// or $new = $new.replace(/(\s(?=\s))+/g,'');
 
document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = $new;

<pre id="content">
this       is a test.
please    remove only   the
Space not
the       breaks inside
</pre>

<pre id="result">
</pre>

$new = $new.split(/ +/).join(' ');
