Multi-line space issue

    I’ve had a long running problem with spacing between text and links within text. Turns out that it’s a problem with minification.

    Basically, my raw html without minification looks like this:

    <li>
				<a href="https://kuiper.zone/default/science-technology/earths-planetary-ring-system-meddling-with-the-night-sky/">Earth’s planetary ring system & meddling with the night sky</a>
							<span class="post-date">June 9, 2016</span>
						</li>

    The point is there is a return between the and <span… elements which equates to a single space in rendering. With minification, this is being lost.

    I can probably solve my problem with the style sheet.

    But is this something you could handle in a future update?

    PS. The latest version of Minify is otherwise working well for me.

    Have you tried to disable “html minification” for this, in the plugin options?

    Sure, disabling html minification would make the problem with html minifcation go away. However, I was simply letting you know that there is a problem for this specific case.

    In any case, I’ve fixed the issue on my own site using a style sheet mod.

    Is it that there was supposed to be a space between the “a” tag and the “span” tag?

    HTML minification is meant to remove linebreaks and extra white space, so there’s no problem with how it’s working.

    That “space” has to be created by a css rule (margin, padding) targeting that span or link, it should never rely on a physical space as different font sizes and different font types would create different space sizes.

    I appreciate your feedback but it doesn’t seem to be a coding problem but rather a theme css problem, which you already fixed anyway with the CSS code.

    I’ll close this one as there’s nothing to do on my end.
