pelican-minify

An HTML minification plugin for Pelican, the static site generator.

Install

To install the library, you can use pip.

$ pip install pelican-minify

Usage

To use pelican-minify, you need to make only a single change to your pelicanconf.py file (the configuration file that Pelican uses to generate your static site.

Update your PLUGINS global, and append minify to the list, eg:

# pelicanconf.py

# ...

PLUGINS = [
    # ...
    'minify',
    # ...
]

# ...

The next time you build your Pelican site, pelican-minify will automatically minify your Pelican pages after they've been generated.

This reduces file size and obscures the public source code, but keep in mind--minifying your static site will increase your Pelican build times, as it adds extra file processing for each page generated.

NOTE: You should probably include the minify plugin at the very bottom of your PLUGINS array. This will ensure it is the last thing to run, and doesn't prematurely gzip any files.
