So why is all CSS now dynamically generated? Aren't we eliminating
all opportunity for client-side caching (and network caching)?
Doesn't this decrease server performance and scalability and increase
the download burden on the growing mobile net market?
Running the CSS through PHP allows these issues to get addressed all at
once.
- Preprocessing can be done on the CSS (currently color substitution)
- Comments and white-space get striped out to make the CSS smaller
- Dokuwiki caches the preprocesses CSS internally to avoid doing
extra work
- The output CSS is network cacheable (recent patches in the
development "tree")
Also, I'm curious about why I can't load and view the generated
stylesheet, while the browser can when loading it as a stylesheet.
It is a browser glitch(?), probably something about line length. Use
curl or some other command-line tool and you will see the compacted
CSS.
