My folder structure is thus:

• root
  • _layouts
    • default.html
  • _plugins
  • assets
    • css
      • styles.css
    • js
    • img
  • index.html
  • _config.yml

Index.html contains nothing excepf for defintion to use default.html as the layout. Default.html contains all the HTML including

<link href="assets/css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Although the HTML is compressed, the CSS doesn't seem to be touched. It feels like i'm missing something incredibly simple. Any ideas?

Althou

On another note altogether, it would be nice if you included some YAML to allow configuration of the compressors. For example I don't particularly want the HTML compressed, although I do want the CSS compressed. How does one toggle the individual features?

I have full javascript files in specific folders that I would like to ignore. I tried to have excludes be folder and several other things following http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/File.html#method-c-fnmatch

This worked in irb (my result was true) but then it failed in the gem. My only guess is that it's just using the filename to compare, and not the entire file path.

Thanks.

running jekyll serve --incremental --watch. the process stuck at generating for so long.

Is it normal since it takes so much time!

I am using xml_escape to prepare my content for an RSS feed, but this means that when it is run through jekyll-press, new lines in code are minified and therefore lost.

For example:

<pre><code><div class="widget">…</div>
<div class="widget">…</div>
<div class="widget">…</div>
<div class="widget">…</div>
<!-- Exception -->
<div class="widget widget-secondary">…</div>
</code></pre>

Becomes:

</p><pre><code><div class="widget">…</div> <div class="widget">…</div> <div class="widget">…</div> <div class="widget">…</div> <!-- Exception --> <div class="widget widget-secondary">…</div> </code></pre>

I think the only way to prevent this from happening is to prevent jekyll-press from minifying the file. Can you do that?

I'm getting a CSSPool error that I can't fix with even the exclude property

From what I can tell, it seems to be due to having multiple @media max-widths in my css file

CSS file: http://chrisyip.im/stylesheets/screen.css.

It came from SCSS files, and already compressed by default.

When jekyll-press tried to precess it, throw an error:

parse error occurred while processing: stylesheets/screen.css
details: parse error on value "2" (NUMBER)
copying initial file

I have two versions of my project: on my local machine and on my production server. I would like Jekyll press to run on my production sever, but not when I am developing on my local machine.

How would this be achieved with jekyll_press?

P.S. you have duplicate repos: jekyll-press and jekyll_press.

I followed your steps and then hit jekyll to generate my website, but it takes forever and don't generate.
Here's the source code.

Do you have any ideas @stereobooster?

Thanks for the repo !

It would be great if jekyll_press.rb was in the root of the repo, so that we could use the repo as a git submodule.
Actually, it works as is, but then you have the path _plugins/jekyll_press/_plugins/jekyll_press.rb, which is awkward.

Here is the git command:

git submodule add git://github.com/stereobooster/jekyll_press.git _plugins/jekyll_press

(updates to be done via simple git pull inside the jekyll_press directory)

The options are limited. Are there any options to compress just the Javascript and CSS, and keep the HTML clean?

There is a glitch here in the sequence of events that causes site text compression when used as-is.

If done properly then there is no need for ruby to cleanup the extra spaces but as-is, we are taking out potential br and paragraph codes as a preprocessor, when in post these would be just extra spaces in the html output. I have a ruby script that removes those and cleans up the html. It doesnt minify however.

--
desc "cleans up empty lines"
task :cleanup do
Dir['_site/**/*.html'].each do |file|
file_to_strip = IO.readlines(file)
fout = File.open("temp.html", "w")
in_code_block = false
file_to_strip.each do |line|
if line.include?("") or line.include?("

")

in_code_block = true

end

if (not in_code_block and not line.strip.empty?) or in_code_block

fout << line

end

if line.include?("") or line.include?("

In the console I am getting this error from jekyll. This only occurs with jekyll_press:

parse error occurred while processing: /Users/Oliver/Development/Personal/OliverJAsh/site/css/base.css
details: parse error on value ":not(" (error)
copying initial file

I am also getting an error of Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL in the browser console. Something seems to be going wrong in the minification of the HTML here.

My project where I am witnessing this problems can be found here.

If you have posts in folders such as
/recipes/_posts/post-name.md
(as is the new way of doing things)

It doesn't compress the html, but it does for /index.html and /recipes/index.html

The plugin is unable to parse some CSS3 syntax.

For example, look at https://github.com/linuxtuts/linuxtuts.github.com

parse error occurred while processing: /_site/css/colors/transparent.css
details: parse error on value "$" ($end)

parse error occurred while processing: /_site/css/depend/fixstyles.css

I'm in trouble if I want to put javascript

<script type="text/javascript"></script>

or any other

here is the error: https://gist.github.com/marcosisocram/5377331

when I remove the javascript works.

Hey, I'm having trouble understanding the README. Just looking for clarification for what the contents of the actual .rb file should look like.

I chose the Standalone option..

Here's what I've done:

Installation: Fine. Easily installed the gem

Usage: You instruct to create the following:

# _plugins/jekyll-press-plugin.rb
require 'jekyll-press'

So I created a ruby file in my _plugins folder with the contents

require 'jekyll-press'

I was sure this wasn't correct, so I then tried to append the previous content with the settings as shown in the README:

jekyll-press:
exclude: 'atom.xml' # Exclude files from processing - file name, glob pattern or array of     file names and glob patterns
  js_options: {}      # js minifier options
  css_options: {}     # css minifier options
  html_options: {}    # html minifier options

Which led me to a .rb file with the following contents:

require 'jekyll-press'
jekyll-press:
exclude: 'atom.xml' # Exclude files from processing - file name, glob pattern or array of     file names and glob patterns
  js_options: {}      # js minifier options
  css_options: {}     # css minifier options
  html_options: {}    # html minifier options

I'm certain this isn't correct, but I'm not sure of what I need to do. Sorry to be a massive noob, but I can't seem to find answer anywhere else.

When I started to use Jekyll it was the only one solution of that type. It was like a breath of fresh air. I like ideas behind it so much. It was a logical continuation of Markdown.

Historical info:

1. There was markdown and Perl script to convert it to HTML
2. Jekyll - which was able not just convert markdown, but website bundler. It is able to convert Markdown and provide everything, what is required. Front Matter deserves separate mention
3. Next step will be JAM stack, but we not there yet. A lot of questions are unsolved

I keep using Jekyll, but only for the personal blog hosted on Github. But Github does not allow to use custom plugins like this one, so I do not see any sense to continue this work.

If you do not use Github as hosting give a try to modern alternatives.

If you still want to use Jekyll, try something like generator-jekyllized. Gulp is much better for this kind of tasks. It is faster (V8, JIT, streams, async IO). NodeJS has a ton of libs to handle frontend development: guetzli, AWS upload, UglifyJS, csso, critical and much much more.

So I do not see sense continue development of this project.

This is what i get

The README shows the following for the _config.yml file, but it's not clear to me what the possible options are.

jekyll-press:
  exclude: 'atom.xml' # Exclude files from processing - file name, glob pattern or array of file names and glob patterns
  js_options: {}      # js minifier options
  css_options: {}     # css minifier options
  html_options: {}    # html minifier options

Is this documented anywhere? I looked in the code and I couldn't see any places that made use of these. I checked the html_press repo, but it didn't have any documentation either.

Thanks.

Currently, only pages and posts are processed. Collections were added in the 2.0.0 release: http://jekyllrb.com/news/2014/05/06/jekyll-turns-2-0-0/

Jekyll manage utf-8 character pretty well. Nevertheless, jekyll-press use gems that do not do as well. While I was running jekyll server I encountered the following error :

/home/jharvard/.gem/ruby/gems/json-1.8.1/lib/json/common.rb:223:in `encode': "\xE2" on US-ASCII (Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError)

The way to fix it was for me to use : LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8" bundle exec jekyll serve instead.

is there a better way to fix that ?

PS : I still got an error on a css file but was the bootstrap file so I am guessing it has nothing to do with encoding this time.

If I write some code in a Markdown file and indent it by four spaces so it goes inside a pre element when converter, e.g.:

body {
  font-size: 16px;
}

p {
  color: gray;
}

Then what actually outputs is:

body {
  font-size: 16px;
}
p {
  color: gray;
}

Compressing and minifying is already effective, but I believe that this plugin can be made more effective through these ways:

1. JSlim (https://github.com/zgrossbart/jslim) which can remove unused functions in JS
2. Deadweight (https://github.com/aanand/deadweight) which can remove unused CSS. Not able to check JS files.
3. Google Closure Compiler to optimize JS.
4. Combine similar rules.

Here's what I mean by No. 4.

a {
    color: #000000;
}
p {
    background-color: #000000;
    color: #000000;
}

INTO

a, p {
    color: #000000;
}
p {
    background-color: #000000;
}

after minification to avoid problems with whitespace. It should only execute if minification suceeds. Which means the actual result would look like:

a,p{color:#000000;}p{background-color:#000000;}

some symbols like <, >, & in highlight section， Test:

{% highlight bash %}
<This doesn't work.>
{% endhighlight %}

{% highlight bash %}
&This doesn't work, either.&
{% endhighlight %}

output:

%MINIFYHTML1347762883%1%This doesn't work.%MINIFYHTML1347762883%2%

%MINIFYHTML1347762883%3%This doesn't work, either.%MINIFYHTML1347762883%4%
