I have this code block:

~~~
<details class="d"><summary class="s">

When I use using Franklin; serve(prerender=true) everything works, but when I push to github and it does minification and everything, the <br/> elements disappear. Is there a workaround? You can see them disappear on my website at the bottom.

the python minifying script that Franklin uses is a bit crap and it's probably a good thing to just turn it off with optimize(..., minify=false); in addition it doesn't help that much if you use github for deployment as github already basically acts as an optimiser serving pages via gzip (at least it used to but I don't see why it wouldn't anymore).

prerendering is a bit better but if you want to be sure what you see locally is what you get remotely, just turn both minify=false, prerender=false in the call to optimize (which isn't much of an optimize pass then 😄 )

in the next version of Franklin this stuff is just removed (though there's the use of a minification jll in discussion)
