Whitespace inside a closing html tag breaks the parser about dropcss HOT 6 CLOSED

I wish it was a synthetic case - but that's what Prettier outputs in some cases

hmm, nothing pretty about that 🤯

there's likely gonna be a ton of technically-valid-but-breaks-dropcss cases so trying to accommodate what various tools spit out will be an endless game of whack-a-mole.

why not just strip out the whitespace using a regex replace before passing it to dropcss? that's generally my advice in such cases. e.g. https://github.com/leeoniya/dropcss#special--escaped-sequences

hmmm. unlike the map/undo with regex examples there, I wouldn't be able to undo whitespace stripping.

probably not a big deal though

lol, why bring back the horror? :D

I mean - in case it replaced something wrong. Regex is not the best tool for processing html.

Probably better to pre-process it with some html minifier, before calling dropcss

i was gonna suggest this, but that's a big perf hit.

no argument there, but i think </\w+\s+> is gonna be extremely uncommon to match accidentally. i'd take take that risk 100% of the time vs ingesting another depndency and taking a big perf hit, but that's just me.

Thank you very much for the quick response!
