Sweet. I've been doing this in Rails helpers, and it's a pain.

Now, how would I add this to my Rails asset pipeline? I'm thinking either:

* Port to Ruby, or

* Use this as a microservice.

It looks like much of code is some simple routines to find and replace elements. Might not take long to recreate it in pure ruby.

Rely on stdin/stdout, and call it via backticks?

I'd think execjs would be in the running.
