CSSTidy with CSS3 Gradient:

Gradient are one of the fresh cool matter of CSS3 brought with it. Similar to the others cool thing it still undergo from and vendor-specific properties and a partial implementation.It also is not correctly parsed by CSSTidy.

How to patch the CSSTidy with CSS3 Gradient is as follows:

First we have to correct the big parse() in CSSTidy.php file then we will have to add the condition to explicitly CSSTidy not to remove -webkit-gradient and -moz-linear-gradient.
Just open the CSSTidy.php file and locate the parse() method then locate the case ‘instr’ in the switch case.

E.g.

if (!($this->str_char === ')' && in_array($string{$i}, $GLOBALS['csstidy']['whitespace']) && !$this->str_in_str)) {
$this->cur_string .= $temp_add;
}

else

{
if ($this->sub_value=="-webkit-gradient" || $this->sub_value=="-moz-linear-gradient")

{
$this->cur_string.=' ';
}
}
