 * Hi, I have some code examples which shouldn’t be minified, but still would like
   to minify everything else, is there some way to exclude them that I may have 
   overlooked? I’m using prism.js for this code examples..
 * Regards

 * afraid not, the only thing you could do is use the `autoptimize_html_minify_inline_js_css`
   filter to disable that option on specific pages?

 * Oh I see, problem is that page has inline code that should be minified, unless
   maybe I convert all inline scrips into separated js files, and then disabling
   it in the page could be the closest solution I guess.. Most likely not possible
   to exclude an html tag or script type, but I that would be ideal perhaps. Example
   of prism snippet for reference:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-html">            <script type="prism-html-markup">
       /* code that shouldnt be minified */</script>                </code></pre>
       ```

 * afraid that CSS/ JS minification is done as part of HTML minification and the
   exclusions don’t work there, so it’s all or nothing really .. :-/
