SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

cssesc escapes strings for use in CSS string literals or identifiers while generating the shortest possible valid ASCII-only output.

-w, --wrap

Make sure the output is a valid CSS string literal wrapped in quotes. The type of quotes can be specified using the -s | --single-quotes or -d | --double-quotes settings.

-e, --escape-everything

Escape all the symbols in the output, even printable ASCII symbols.

-v, --version

Print cssesc's version.

-h, --help

Show the help screen.
