W3C Validation #227

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

While this is rather trivial, have you thought of a way to create W3C valid 
markup?

Great work with this project and thank you for making it available!

Thanks! Can you be more specific? If you mean "fixing" markup sent through 
Minify_HTML, that's a task better suited for something like Tidy or components 
made for that purpose.

When running the W3C validation tool over my header markup, I receive markup 
errors due to the stylesheet link href. Here is a sample:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" 
href="/lib/min/b=style&f=global/global_V1_20110412.css,index6.css,jquery.fancybo
x.css,widescreen3/fixedwidth5.css" />

This causes errors such as:
Error Line 21, Column 78: general entity "f" not defined and no default entity
Error Line 21, Column 79: reference to entity "f" for which no system 
identifier could be generated
Warning Line 38, Column 53: reference not terminated by REFC delimiter
[...]

This is rather trivial, I was just curious whether you had a solution for this 
issue (if you can call it that). Due the the dynamic nature of the website, I 
cannot use groups as it would pose too much of a hassle (site is large, has 
many sections, and as such, many section specific combinations of style sheets).

I attempted a mod rewrite approach, but could not get it to work:
# -- CSS/JS Minifier W3C Validator fix
RewriteBase /lib/min/
RewriteRule ^b_uri/(.*)/f_uri/(.*)$ index.php?b=$1&f=$2 [L]

the link was modified to this:
/lib/min/b_uri/style/f_uri/global/global_V1_20110412.css,index6.css,jquery.fancy
box.css,widescreen3/fixedwidth5.css

I would greatly appreciate any ideas.

The Builder (http://code.google.com/p/minify/wiki/BuilderApp ) actually outputs 
HTML that's properly escaped. If you write your own markup, it's up to you to 
HTML escape entities like "&".

I mention this in min/README:
