HTML Minify -> CDATA Issue

    Hi,

    Before posting i have tried to dig deeper, but it seems that every time i enable HTML minification i get the following errors (over 30) in the Chrome console:

    Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘<‘

    It’s related to every CDATA instance that the W3TC plugin wraps around any block of of inline Javascript. I have tried changing my document type to XHTML and XML encoding:

    — php

    header("Content-type: application/xhtml+xml"); 
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';

    — html 

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
 "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

    Which prevents this error occurring, but then it gives me many more issues minifying anything after an ampersand for example “&raquo”. Being that it’s strict.

    I’m using HTML5 doctype declarations
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    How can i minify the HTML without the CDATA issue?

    I’ve seen posts talking about adding // before each CDATA block.

    <script>
//<![CDATA[
    // insert code
//]]>
</script>

    Can we add this automatically?

    Please advise
    Thanks

    I was using the default minification engine, i had minify inline JS enabled.
