It was just a simple, basic example. Didn't want to overwhelm with advanced ones. It could have easily been:

font-size: 16px;

and

font-size: 17px;

The point was recognizing two classes which are not exactly the same, but extremely close to each other.

Side Note: If you wanted advanced examples + a breakdown of every category under the sun, see Post #92+ in that "Adding limited features" thread.

I described every case, using real-life code... and I even color-coded it for you.

Straight out of Word/InDesign, you typically get messes like this:

Spoiler:

p.Block-indent {
	color:#000000;
	font-family:"Minion Pro Medium", sans-serif;
	font-size:0.917em;
	font-style:normal;
	font-variant:normal;
	font-weight:normal;
	orphans:2;
	page-break-after:auto;
	page-break-before:auto;
	text-align:justify;
	text-decoration:none;
	text-indent:0;
	text-transform:none;
	widows:2;
}

p.Body-text {
	color:#000000;
	font-family:"Minion Pro Medium", sans-serif;
	font-size:0.917em;
	font-style:normal;
	font-variant:normal;
	font-weight:normal;
	orphans:2;
	page-break-after:auto;
	page-break-before:auto;
	text-align:justify;
	text-decoration:none;
	text-indent:18px;
	text-transform:none;
	widows:2;
}

You think indents are important? Okay, then don't merge the classes together.

You think that difference is irrelevant? Merge them.

The great thing about this newer method is you can easily:

• Compare all classes to each other.
  
  • A "closeness score" from 100 (exactly the same) to 0 (nothing the same).
    
  • Highlight different lines.
    
• + Check a box and merge those classes together.

How dare you not read every word? Make more hours!!!

Good thing you'll be able to ignore or pay attention to whatever you want!

• Think margins are useless? Great!
• Think fonts are useless? Great!
• Think colors are useless? And you don't want 50 different shades of gray? Great!

Want to read more details? Great!

Go read the thread above. I explain it all!

If I changed the example, then Jon would've inevitably swooped in to rant about:

"Don't you know how bad pixels are for font size?"

Anyway, all you need to know is:

Soon, there will be yet another tool in the toolbelt!

• "Remove Unused CSS" gets rid of all the unused stuff.
• "Consolidate CSS" will help clean up all the leftovers!

Me+KevinH are both figuring out a way to handle this better than ever before.

But, for now, you'll have to keep doing the ol', crappy, manual way.
