Compiler does not handle backslashes properly #20

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Discovered when trying to compress output from Twitter Bootstrap (likely 
affects lots of other users too).

Michael Bolin addressed this issue in this thread but I don't see a fix ever 
being checked in:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8453719/closure-stylesheets-parse-error-with-
twitters-bootstrap-css

Input:
.test{ font-size:20px;outline:thin dotted \9; }

Output
GssParserException: Parse error in test at line 1 column 44

Can't you use a star instead of the backslash? As far as I can see, 
Closure-Stylesheets doesn't have a problem with a star, and the IE hack should 
work with any prepended character, not only a blackslash, see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSS_filter#Star_hack.
