    remove_scripts: bool,
    remove_styles: bool,
    remove_svgs: bool,
    remove_comments: bool,
    remove_long_attributes: bool,
    max_attribute_length: int,
    preserve_attributes: list[str] | None,
    remove_empty_tags: bool,
    preserve_empty_tags: list[str] | None,
    minify_whitespace: bool,
) -> str
```
