Is it possible to parse a stylesheet with Nokogiri?
- by wbharding
I've spent my requisite two hours Googling this, and I can not find any good answers, so let's see if humans can beat Google computers.
I want to parse a stylesheet in Ruby so that I can apply those styles to elements in my document (to make the styles inlined). So, I want to take something like
<style>
.mystyle {
color:white;
}
</style>
And be able to extract it into a Nokogiri object of some sort.
The Nokogiri class "CSS::Parser" (http://nokogiri.rubyforge.org/nokogiri/Nokogiri/CSS/Parser.html) certainly has a promising name, but I can't find any documentation on what it is or how it works, so I have no idea if it can do what I'm after here.
My end goal is to be able to write code something like:
a_web_page = Nokogiri::HTML(html_page_as_string)
parsed_styles = Nokogiri::CSS.parse(html_page_as_string)
parsed_styles.each do |style|
existing_inlined_style = a_web_page.css(style.declaration) || ''
a_web_page.css(style.declaration)['css'] = existing_inlined_style + style.definition
end
Which would extract styles from a stylesheet and add them all as inlined styles to my document.
