jekyll-tidy
is a plugin for tidying the HTML output of your Jekyll website, using either HtmlBeautifier
or HtmlCompressor
.
Usage is straightforward.
If you have the gem Bundler installed, simply include the gem in your Gemfile
under the :jekyll_plugins
group:
group :jekyll_plugins do
gem "jekyll-tidy"
end
Run bundle install
to install the plugin and its dependencies.
The plugin will be automatically loaded the next time you run bundle exec jekyll build
or bundle exec jekyll serve
The plugin-gem can also be loaded via the _config.yml
Simply add this gem to the gems:
list (or plugins:
list, if you're on Jekyll v3.5 and above.)
gems:
- jekyll-tidy
jekyll-tidy
takes three configuration settings:
exclude
— an array of files to exclude from tidying.ignore_env
— aJEKYLL_ENV
string on which to skip tidying entirely.compress_html
— a flag for whether or not to compress the HTML output
jekyll_tidy:
exclude: ["index.html"]
ignore_env: development
compress_html: true # or false
exclude
is an array of relative file paths that will be ignored by jekyll-tidy
. Exclude must be set as an array, or it will cause errors.
jekyll_tidy:
exclude: ["index.html"] # excludes only index.html
exclude
can also take a glob of file paths.
Note: File globs need to be wrapped with ""
when defining the array with square brackets.
jekyll_tidy:
exclude: ["_posts/*.md"] # excludes all markdown files directly within the _posts directory.
jekyll_tidy:
exclude:
- _posts/*.md # excludes all markdown files directly within the _posts directory.
- _posts/**/*.md # excludes all markdown files anywhere within the _posts directory
If compress_html
is set to true
then HtmlCompressor
will be used to tidy the markup.
When set to false
, HtmlBeautifier
will be used to tidy the markup.
Note: if you set the compress_html
option to true
and your templates have inline CSS or javascript, it will not be minified.
If ignore_env
is set to a string, we will check the JEKYLL_ENV
environment variable and skip tidying if it matches.
Setting _config.yml
with:
ignore_env: development
and then running jekyll server with:
$ JEKYLL_ENV=development jekyll serve
will skip all tidying.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake test
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
.
