HTMLMinifier will delete <canvas> tags - fix?

See original GitHub issue

<canvas> tag will be erased with HTMLMinifier but it should not! Working e.g. with chart.js needs the <canvas> tag to draw the chart. Is it possible to fix it?

Well, there is an option enabled in Formatter which removes empty elements:

https://github.com/bitst0rm-pub/Formatter/blob/27dea0804c73b0d2ef43ed6cc25a98ba0399d41e/config/htmlminifierrc.json#L35

"removeEmptyElements": true,

So please report this at https://github.com/bitst0rm-pub/Formatter

Oh you made it! GREAT. With these settings it’s even possible to get Minifyer to keep attributes which contain spaces. Perfect. "removeEmptyAttributes": false,

thus

<div id="htmllegend"></div>
<canvas id="Macro "></canvas>

will get <div id=htmllegend></div><canvas id="Macro "></canvas>

that’s exactly what it should. thanx a lot.
