Hi everybody,
I'm sure I'm far from having checked out all of HTMLPad's features and I can't seem to find a solution to my problem in the help files and forums.
I'm working with CSS frameworks and as we all know we're never applying all CSS rules defined in a framework. Thus I'd like to delete all unused rules in the CSS file(s).
HTMLPad's code explorer is listing all used classes quite nicely. Now I'm wondering if there is a way to print or export this list of all those classes used in a HTML document so that I can comfortably compare them with all rules contained in the CSS file(s) to delete those that are not being used. Or maybe one of you knows an alternative 'best practise'?
I'm using HTMLPad 2022 (v17.3.0.244)
Regards,
Anke

Unfortunately there is no Export feature for Code Explorer.
I think the best way to do it is to go through the rules painstakingly. Sometimes it's not obvious whether the rule is used or not, sometimes the elements might not exist in HTML but can be dynamically created by client-side javascript. If you know your project well, you can remove the rules safely, but it has to be done carefully.

Thank you for getting back to me.
That's a pity. It would be helpful if I could copy the list from Code Explorer as plain text.
