Command Line Tool - Simple and safety HTML/SVG cleaner to minify without changing its structure.
This is CLI for htmlclean.

Installation

npm install -g htmlclean-cli

Drag & Drop & Clean

In GUI environment, you can drag-and-drop one or more target files or directories to the htmlclean icon, or a short cut (alias, link, etc.) icon on the desktop also works.

The htmlclean icon is found in:

npm bin -g

Command Line

htmlclean [options] [input1 [input2 ...]]

Options

<input> / <output>

An argument that have no option is considered as input.
For example:

htmlclean A.html

equals:

htmlclean -i A.html

A - is specified as STDIN or STDOUT.

If multiple inputs and outputs are specified, the content from a first input is written to a first output, and the content from a second input is written to a second output..., in this way.
The all arguments that have no option are added to last of the input list.
If no inputs are specified, it's considered as one STDIN.
The outputs exceeding inputs are ignored.
For example:

htmlclean -o A.html -o B.html

A first input is STDIN, B.html is ignored.

If a file is specified to the input of a pair and a directory is specified to the output of this pair, the content is written to the same named file in the specified directory. In this case, if the input path is located under the path that is specified to the --root option, the directory tree under the root path is created into the output directory.
If a file is specified to the input of a pair and the output of this pair isn't specified, the content is written to the file named <input>.min.<ext>. For example, if the name of file as input is index.html, then the content is written to index.min.html.
If STDIN is specified to the input of a pair and the output of this pair isn't specified (or a directory is specified), the content is written to STDOUT.

The input can be Glob pattern like *.html.
For Glob pattern syntax, see:

If a directory is specified to the input, it is considered as directory/**/*.html. And this directory is set to default of the --root option.
If the input of a pair points to multiple files and a directory is specified to the output of this pair, the each content is written to the same named file in the specified directory. In this case, if the input path is located under the path that is specified to the --root option, the directory tree under the root path is created into the output directory.
If the input of a pair points to multiple files and the output of this pair isn't specified, the each content is written to the file named <input>.min.<ext>. For example, if the name of file as input is index.html, then the content is written to index.min.html.
If the input of a pair points to multiple files and a file (or STDOUT) is specified to the output of this pair, a concatenated content from all input files of this pair is written to the output.

For example, for some Template Framework and AngularJS.

htmlclean \
-p "/<\!--%fooTemplate\b.*?%-->/g" \
-p "/<\!--%barTemplate\b.*?%-->/g" \
-P "/<script [^>]*\btype="text\/ng-template"[\s\S]+?<\/script>/ig"

Note

On Windows XP, 2000 + Node v0.11-, the redirecting doesn't work, the piping works.
Therefore, use this:

type file.html | htmlclean

instead of:

htmlclean < file.html
