Build non-minified HTML

Is there a way to not minify the HTML in the build?

If you’re not using the middleman-minify-html extension, then it won’t be.

I’ve never used that extension. The only thing activated in my configure :build do is :relative_assets.

So what do you mean about minifying html? Are you using haml? Some more details would help.

Hello @tdreyno

I Have the same “problem”.
When i build i want to keep a nice indentation for HTML to be exploited by someone.

Problem: I use slim templating
Here is my config.rb

github.com

flexbox/foundation-boilerplate/blob/master/config.rb

require 'slim'
Slim::Engine.options[:pretty] = true # Avoid HTML minification for people who don't know slim

set :js_dir,     'assets/javascripts'
set :css_dir,    'assets/stylesheets'
set :images_dir, 'assets/images'

activate :autoprefixer, browsers: ['last 2 versions', 'ie 8', 'ie 9']
activate :livereload
activate :syntax

activate :navtree do |options|
  options.data_file = 'tree.yml'
  options.source_dir = 'source' # The `source` directory we want to represent in our nav tree.
  options.ignore_files = [
    'sitemap.xml',
    'robots.txt',
    'human.txt',
    'favicon_base.png',
    'CNAME',

I have found the answer

if you use slim for HTML simply add this line in config.rb

require 'slim'
# Avoid HTML minification for people who don't know slim
Slim::Engine.default_options[:pretty] = true
