CSS Waxer refactors CSS files bringing the focus on properties, rather than on selectors. Typically, CSS files are written by groups of selectors, you first specify all the properties of <body>, then those of <h1>, #header, and so on. This makes it hard to catch a glimpse of the overall style of a site, such as the entire list of colors used, the fonts, or the dimensions. CSS Waxer reorders the lines of a CSS files so that properties are grouped together by family. In this way, you can rapidly check together all the fonts used, the colors, backgrounds, layouts and so on for the whole site.

History

v0.0.9 2014/06/05 Bump CSS Parser, which is now available as a gem again. Include iconv which is required.

v0.0.8 2010/08/03 CSS Parser is no (longer) available as a gem in version 1.1.0. Fixed by creating a new gem called css_parser_1.1.0 and requiring that one instead

v0.0.7 2010/04/03 Expanded shorthand properties: background, font, margin, padding

v0.0.6 2010/04/02 Requires CSS Parser > 1.1.0 which includes load_file!

v0.0.5 2010/04/02 Fixed a bug; now respects multiple property values for the same selector

v0.0.4 2010/03/31 Fixed a bug; now also respects !important statements

v0.0.3 2010/03/28 Fixed a bug; now also works on remote CSS files

v0.0.1 2010/03/28 First commit that only works on CSS files with one-line style.
