Prepare inline <script>'s for compression

Cleanup
- There is an 'missing semicolon' issue with Shopify's Enhanced Ecommerce for Google Analytics, which gets corrected here as well.

Compress whitespace outside of <pre>

{% capture _content %}{{ _content }}{{ _pres.last | split: " " | join: " " }}{% endcapture %}
{% endcase %}
{% endfor %}{% comment %}
Remove html comments
- Matching just "<!--" and "-->" will whipe out IE Conditional Comments, which you probably don't want
{% endcomment %}{% assign _comment_befores = _content | split: "<!-- " %}{% for _comment_before in _comment_befores %}
{% assign _comment_content = _comment_before | split: " -->" | first %}
{% if _comment_content %}

{% assign _content = _content | remove: _comment %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}{% comment %}
Clip whitespace around elements
{% endcomment %}{% assign _clippings = "html head title base link meta style body article section nav aside h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 hgroup header footer address p hr blockquote ol ul li dl dt dd figure figcaption main div table caption colgroup col tbody thead tfoot tr td th option img script" | split: " " %}{% for _element in _clippings %}
{% assign _edges = " <e;<e; </e>;</e>;</e> ;</e>" | replace: "e", _element | split: ";" %}
{% assign _content = _content | replace: _edges[0], _edges[1] | replace: _edges[2], _edges[3] | replace: _edges[4], _edges[5] %}
{% endfor %}{% comment %}
Output

You can use it like this:
Create a snippit name 'compress'
{%- capture minified -%}
<!doctype html>
<!--all content--->
</html>
{%- endcapture -%}
{%- include 'compress', content: minified -%}
