IE conditional HTML comments don't play well with the rest of the document
See original GitHub issueusing the style_html function with a document that starts with:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if lt IE 7]> <html class="no-js ie6 oldie" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]> <html class="no-js ie7 oldie" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]> <html class="no-js ie8 oldie" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!--> <html class="no-js" lang="en"> <!--<![endif]-->
<head>
the entire indentation of the document is thrown off because of the IE conditional comments at the beginning of the file …
tried using the unformatted option ['!--[if lt IE 7]', '!--[if IE 7]', '!--[if IE 8]', '!--[if gt IE 8]', '![endif]--', '!--'] but it breaks the entire styling.
