Frequently asked questions
Is this gzip-equivalent?+
No. Markdown minification is plain-text optimization. For wire-level compression, gzip in addition to minification yields the smallest size.
Will it work with frontmatter?+
Frontmatter is preserved exactly. Only the body content is minified.
What about Pro batch?+
Single-file is free. For batch, the Pro Markdown Merger handles multi-file compression.
