IMAGEN(1) β like, the manual page for esponja π
okay bestie, so this page lives in the General Commands Manual section and it's filed under IMAGEN(1) β but the actual star of the show, the main character, is esponja. Yes, the name on the door doesn't match the name on the girl. It's giving mystery. It's giving branding chaos. We move. π
β¨ NAME β¨
esponja β optimize HTML code. that's it, that's the whole vibe. π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
esponja [options] files
π DESCRIPTION π
This manual page documents briefly the esponja command. lowkey a humble little summary, but okay.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so yeah, Debian said "fine, I'll do it myself" π iconic behaviour fr fr.
esponja tries to optimize HTML markup. tries. it's out here doing its best, and honestly, same.
π¨ but here's the tea: it is not tolerant against non-valid HTML files. so do not come to esponja with your broken, unclosed-tag, chaos-gremlin HTML and expect a glow-up. it will not be nice about it. valid HTML only, bestie. periodt.
If no file is given then it reads from standard input and writes to standard output. stream it straight through, no cap. β¨
If at least one file is given then it operates by modifying these files. β οΈ in place. as in, it edits your actual files. your files. the ones you love. back them up or at least know what you're doing, okay? π
π₯ OPTIONS π₯
A summary of options are included below. a lil menu, a lil appetizer. π
-uβ output html files at intermediate stages of the optimization. like behind-the-scenes content. the process pics. the "before" AND the "middle" AND the "after". obsessed. π-vβ switch on verbose mode. and here's the cute part: it can be iterated to increase the verbosity. stack it, stack it, stack it. more-v, more talking. π¬-nβ do not modify files. instead, the output of processing file is written tofile.esp. your originals stay untouched, safe, hydrated, glowing. π«Ά also, heads up: this option switches the-von. so you get receipts whether you asked or not. π-help,--helpβ show usage information. the "girl, how do I even use this" button. use it. π
π SEE ALSO π
The HeVeA documentation can be found on the HeVeA home page http://hevea.inria.fr. and if you're on a Debian system it can also be accessed at /usr/share/doc/hevea-doc/html or through the Debian help system β provided the package hevea-doc is installed. so like, no hevea-doc package, no docs. check first, bestie. π§
π AUTHOR π
Esponja is part of HeVeA, written by Luc Maranget <Luc.Maranget@inria.fr>. king behaviour, we respect him. π
This manual page was compiled by Ralf Treinen <treinen@debian.org> from the HeVeA documentation for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). so Ralf really said "I'll write the manpage myself" and did. legend. π
and that's the whole page, bestie!! π this is the IMAGEN(1) manual from the General Commands Manual, and yeah β the header said IMAGEN(1) and the footer said IMAGEN(1) too, so the title is committed to the bit even though esponja is the one doing all the work. no date, no version number, just vibes and a name that doesn't match. slay, honestly. π¦β¨π
