I can do this, too, if we feel we have to. The logic flow will have to
change, of course.
Right now we build the shortened style class map, then we generate the
css file.
I'd have to either change the shortened style class map as I merge
styles, or create it a bit later.
It's no big deal, just more overhead when we create the file.
Maybe this goes without saying but we have to be careful when doing this so
that we only use the same selector when the containment definitions are also
the same.
If we just have:
.Foo,
.Bar {
color: red;
}
then this could be compressed down to:
.x1 {
color: red;
}
But if we have:
.Foo,
.Bar {
color: red;
}
.Foo .Joe {
color: green;
}
.Bar .Joe {
color: blue;
}
then we cannot use the same compressed name for Foo and Bar, we'd compress
to:
.x1,
.x2 {
color: red;
}
.x1 .x3 {
color: green;
}
.x2 .x3 {
color: blue;
}
If we had:
.Foo,
.Bar {
color: red;
}
.Foo .Joe,
.Bar .Joe {
color: green;
}
then we could compress down to:
.x1 {
color: red;
}
.x1 .x2 {
color: green;
}
