Parsing of inline <script>

[mdix]

Hi,

I wonder if it's my fault or if it's currently not supported:

I have an *.html document with some inline < script >, and I tried to remove a block:

//@ifdef DEBUG
< some js here >
//@endif

but it just doesn't work. Is js-parsing deactivated when parsing *.html-files? Are you planning to support inlined scripts?

Kind regards
Marc

You may be able to do it like this:

<script>
//<!-- @ifdef DEBUG -->
var blah = 1 + 2;
//<!-- @endif -->
</script>

If you can't it may be route to allow support for it.

Yeah, the format for mixed source in a file is not intelligent, it doesn't differentiate between languages embedded within a parent source, so @drkibitz's method should work.

Hi,

umm, nope, doesn't work. It removes the code but keeps the // from the last //

Kind regards

Edit: Ok, so I got it, at least functional, working.

Won't work

var toBeKept1;
//<!-- @ifdef DEBUG -->
var toBeRemoved;
//<!-- @endif -->
var toBeKept2;

will be rendered to:

var toBeKept1;
// var toBeKept2;

Works:

var toBeKept1;
//<!-- @ifdef DEBUG -->
var toBeRemoved;
//<!-- @endif -->


var toBeKept2;

will be rendered to:

var toBeKept1;
// 

var toBeKept2;

So... it works, but it should remove the //, too.

Kind regards
Marc

Edit: And finally another update: It either works when removing the code or when keeping the code, but not in both cases.

Hi,

ugh, got it working:

//<!-- @ifdef DEBUG -->//
var code;
//<!-- @endif -->//

Either leaves you with one line '////' (code removed) or code between lines of '////' (code kept). Looks funny, but works. Don't know what happens when the code gets minified, so it might be a cool idea (and I'd be very happy) to fix it.

Kind regards
Marc

Sorry, should have reviewed the example code above, it should work with straight html syntax, eg do this (remote, can't verify)

<!-- @ifdef DEBUG -->
var code;
<!-- @endif -->

Hi,

I totally forgot that it's possible to use HTML comments inside the <script>-Tag. Thank you so much for your help, it's working now and also thanks for writing and maintaining it!

Kind regards
