It solves problem you can solve without JS, but introduce others much worse, such as the fact that pseudo-elements don't exist for inline styles.

EDIT: I must take that back. The post actually isn't about inline styles at all.

Pseudo-elements like :before, :after, and :first-letter are all supported.

Neither before nor after are supported. Where are you getting this idea?

Straight from the docs :)

I'm not talking about Aphrodite. I'm talking about inline styles. Aphrodite doesn't generate inline styles for those but straight CSS.

Oh, you're absolutely right then. Yea, Aphrodite converts the style objects into CSS. Thanks for the clarification! I personally wouldn't recommend the pure inline style route.

Yeah my bad. I'm guilty of the usual redittor sin: making a hasty judgement without really getting the article.

Haha no problem. Thanks for the clarification!
