Note that regardless of this setting, `#` will always be URL-encoded. ##### plugins Optionally, you can customise the output by specifying the `plugins` option. You will need to provide the config in comma separated objects, like the example below. Note that you can either disable the plugin by setting it to `false`, or pass different options to change the default behaviour. ```js var postcss = require('postcss'); var svgo = require('postcss-svgo'); var opts = { plugins: [{ removeDoctype: false }, { removeComments: false }, { cleanupNumericValues: { floatPrecision: 2 } }, { convertColors: { names2hex: false, rgb2hex: false } }] }; postcss([ svgo(opts) ]).process(css).then(function (result) { console.log(result.css) }); ``` You can view the [full list of plugins here][plugins]. ## Usage See the [PostCSS documentation](https://github.com/postcss/postcss#usage) for examples for your environment. ## Contributors See [CONTRIBUTORS.md](https://github.com/cssnano/cssnano/blob/master/CONTRIBUTORS.md). ## License MIT © [Ben Briggs](http://beneb.info) [postcss]: https://github.com/postcss/postcss [plugins]: https://github.com/svg/svgo/tree/master/plugins
