## What is clean-css? ##
-Clean-css is a node.js library for minifying CSS files. It does the same job as YUI Compressor's CSS minifier but much faster thanks to many speed optimizations and the node.js' V8 engine.

## Usage ##
### What are the requirements? ###
- node 0.6.0+ on *nix (fully tested on OS X 10.6+ and CentOS)
- node 0.8.0+ on Windows
+```

### How to install clean-css? ###
- npm install clean-css
+`npm install clean-css`
### How to use clean-css CLI? ###
To minify a **public.css** file into **public-min.css** do:
- cleancss -o public-min.css public.css
+`cleancss -o public-min.css public.css`
-To minify the same **public.css** into the standard output skip the -o parameter:
+To minify the same **public.css** into the standard output skip the `-o` parameter:
- cleancss public.css
+`cleancss public.css`
-More likely you would like to concatenate couple files like this (if you are on *nix system):
+More likely you would like to concatenate a couple of files. Iif you are on a *nix system:
- cat one.css two.css three.css | cleancss -o merged-and-minified.css
+`cat one.css two.css three.css | cleancss -o merged-and-minified.css`
or on Windows:
- type one.css two.css three.css | cleancss -o merged-and-minified.css
+`type one.css two.css three.css | cleancss -o merged-and-minified.css`
Or even gzip the result at once:
- cat one.css two.css three.css | cleancss | gzip -9 -c > merged-minified-and-gzipped.css.gz
+`cat one.css two.css three.css | cleancss | gzip -9 -c > merged-minified-and-gzipped.css.gz`
### How to use clean-css programmatically? ###
```javascript
- var cleanCSS = require('clean-css');
- var source = "a{font-weight:bold;}";
- var minimized = cleanCSS.process(source);
+var cleanCSS = require('clean-css');
+var source = "a{font-weight:bold;}";
+var minimized = cleanCSS.process(source);
```
-Process method accepts a hash as a second parameter (i.e. `cleanCSS.process(source, options)`), with the following options available:
+Process method accepts a hash as a second parameter, i.e., `cleanCSS.process(source, options)`
+with the following options available:
* `keepSpecialComments` - `*` for keeping all (default), `1` for keeping first one, `0` for removing all
* `keepBreaks` - whether to keep line breaks (default is false)
* `removeEmpty` - whether to remove empty elements (default is false)
-* `debug` - turns on debug mode (measuring time spent on cleaning up - run `npm run bench` to see example)
+* `debug` - turns on debug mode measuring time spent on cleaning up (run `npm run bench` to see example)
### What are the clean-css' dev commands? ###
First clone the source, then run:
-* `npm run bench` for clean-css benchmarks (see test/bench,js for details)
-* `npm run check` to check JS sources with JSHint
+* `npm run bench` for clean-css benchmarks (see test/bench.js for details)
+* `npm run check` to check JS sources with [JSHint](https://github.com/jshint/jshint/)
* `npm test` for the test suite
### How do you preserve a comment block? ###
-Use `/*!` notation instead of standard one (i.e. `/*`):
+Use the `/*!` notation instead of the standard one `/*`:
- /*!
- Important comments included in minified output.
- */
+```css
+/*!
