CSS templater + Scaml options

[Mathew de Detrich]

I have 2 questions regarding scalatra

Is there a CSS templater (similar to scaml) which allows basic CSS
templating. I basically need to implement dynamic renaming for static
files (due to using the never-expires header on static files for
faster web reloading) and for this I obviously need to dynamically
change the references to image/font files in the CSS

Also is there a way to alter how the scalatra templateEngine outputs
the HTML. Right now there default output is pretty printed HTML,
however I would obviously want to compact this (remove whitespace etc
etc)

Thanks

Hi

You can use ssp files for those css files or some other template
engine like stringtemplate. the render call in scalatra returns a
string so you can manipulate the result if you want to.

To minify the html you can use something like jTidy or htmlcompressor
to post process that string.
