Hey guys, this removes spaces in css that are inside a calc() which leads to it becoming an invalid property value, does anyone know the fix?

maybe is too late, but just FYI ive fixed it on a old project i made TriForceX/BootstrapExtended#14

Ran into a bug using this function with exceptionally large files (like 1 MB+ worth of HTML to minify). Specifically, above a certain string size, minify_html seems to return an empty string (or some other false-y value).

Added a "ghetto hack" as shown below. HTML will not be minified, but will at least return the original HTML.

    $original_input = $input; 

   /* The rest of the function */ 

    if (!$input)
        return $original_input;  
    return $input; 

One problem, it removes whitespace in CSS calc() for example
font-size: calc(36px + (80 - 36) * (100vw - 320px) / (1366 - 320));

Becomes:
font-size: calc(36px+(80-36) * (100vw-320px) / (1366-320));

Which is invalid.

Fixed problem in whitespace in CSS calc()

thanks @jcmarchi and @TriForceX for solution

css replace 0% It will cause crash keyframes uses ( 0% ) ...

css replace 0% It will cause crash keyframes uses ( 0% ) ...

Hi Rodrigo, any lucky looking into this one? keyframes are increasingly getting more important in nowadays CSS implementations and it can surely start being a problem in many cases.

css replace 0% It will cause crash keyframes uses ( 0% ) ...

Though I don't do css much, I think \d% in keyframe rules is always followed by {. Hence this pattern would work: (?<=[\s:])(0)(cm|em|ex|in|mm|pc|pt|px|vh|vw|%)(?!\s*\{).

One problem,
var loadPage = function(){
// Content
}
var loadPage = function(){
// Content
}
When compressing an error.

Here is correct.
var loadPage = function(){
// Content
};
var loadPage = function(){
// Content
};
How to fix this.
Thank!

These are great, thanks! Like others, I removed the 0 replacement line. Thanks for much for sharing.

Thank you so much

could you guys explain me about Keep important white-space(s) after self-closing HTML tag(s) '#<(img|input)(>| .*?>)#s', and '#<(img|input)(>| .*?>)<\/\1>#s'

an example would be great 😄
