which has target anchors with no contents and no closing tag. No closing tag is on purpose for space optimization, since HTML prohibits an A tag in an A tag and implicitly closes the last one when it encounters an opening A tag. I am using the following line to minify this HTML file.
html-minifier --collapse-boolean-attributes --collapse-whitespace --html5 --remove-attribute-quotes --remove-comments --remove-empty-attributes --remove-optional-tags --remove-redundant-attributes --remove-script-type-attributes --remove-style-link-type-attributes --remove-tag-whitespace --sort-attributes --sort-class-name --trim-custom-fragments --use-short-doctype --minify-js -o testm.htm test.htm
gives

with all those extra "</a>"s. Adding "--include-auto-generated-tags" doesn't change the output, since the default for "includeAutoGeneratedTags" is true. "--noinclude-auto-generated-tags" and "--no-include-auto-generated-tags" dont change the output either.
"--include-auto-generated-tags 0" breaks everything
Cannot read 0

If I use the following JSON config
{
"collapseBooleanAttributes": true,
"collapseWhitespace": true,
"html5": true,
"removeAttributeQuotes": true,
"removeComments": true,
"removeEmptyAttributes": true,
"removeEmptyElements": true,
"removeOptionalTags": true,
"removeRedundantAttributes": true,
"removeScriptTypeAttributes": true,
"removeStyleLinkTypeAttributes": true,
"removeTagWhitespace": true,
"sortAttributes": true,
"sortClassName": true,
"trimCustomFragments": true,
"useShortDoctype": true,
"minifyJS": true
}
it produces the extra "</a>"s. If I add "includeAutoGeneratedTags": false to the config file, the extra "</a>"s are gone. So its not possible AFAIK to turn off includeAutoGeneratedTags from the CLI.
