scss_formatter_compressed doesn't strip CSS comments

[PaulSpr]

When you use the scss_formatter_compressed flag, scss comments are stripped (the // type), but regular CSS comments ( /**/ style) are left in the CSS.

From what I understand this is expected SASS behavior. But when you compress the CSS output, shouldn't it be as small as possible?

I'm not up on the sass spec, but I don't think all formatters need to follow it. If we want a formatter that outputs in CSSHaiku, that should be an option.

I would make sense, though, to be an extension of the compressed class so that the original is available.

I don't know how related this is, but I notice that when I use the compress formatter, the normal comments (/* */) of all the imported files get pushed to the top of the output file, before the actual output code from files that come before it. I haven't done a lot of debugging / confirmation, so not yet ready to file this as a separate issue, but thought I'd mention it.

I have a temporary working branch that adds an option to remove CSS comments from the output laying around for several months. In this patch, stripping comments is enabled only for the scss_formatter_compressed, but can be toggled through a flag in all formatters (which is the current behavior for most other flags as well).

Before opening a PR, it'd like to address ticket #63 and make sure it's desired to enhance the default compressed formatter or introduce a whole new formatter instead. In particular, there are a whole lot of other enhancements and CSS minimizations in this branch (feel free to take a look), which I'd like to see merged back to the master at some point.

Hi,
can you please explaine me hox to use scss_formatter_compress
I didn't understand how to set up it

[robocoder]

I've added the scss_formatter_crunched class to the develop branch.

@Colir programmatically:

$scss = new scssc();
$scss->setFormatter('scss_formatter_compressed');

Using pscss:

pscss -f=scss_formatter_compressed <yourfile.scss
