Ublock: [Question] Procedural cosmetic filters

[splattadat]

No issue, a question or perhaps a feature request.

Procedural cosmetic filters can now be chained and recursive

== the best news causing me to instantly switch to uBO.

uBO version 1.11.4

Background, there are two DIV's at the same DOM level each with fixed height=50px where the total visible height=100px. If #div-1 is targeted using a filter, then #div-2 will visually move up into its place. This may be undesirable where an opaque #div-2 obscures background imagery due to hiding transparent #div-1.

<div class="background-image">
   <div id="div-1" style="height: 50px; background: transparent"></div>
   <div id="div-2" style="height: 50px; background: blue"></div>
</div>

In the case of the above example, I would chain a change so that the DOM layout is no longer affected, that is, I would alter #div-2 to contain margin-top: 50px to counter the removal of #div-1.

<div class="background-image">
   <div id="div-1" hidden=""></div>
   <div id="div-2" style="height: 50px; background: blue; margin-top:50px"></div>
</div>

The question: is it possible to change inline html? If not, please add the ability :)

I hope that makes sense.

Closing and marking as _invalid_, as per CONTRIBUTING.

Thank you @gwarser - perfect answer.

There was absolutely no good reason for @splattadat to completely dismiss CONTRIBUTING.

There will always be some newcomers wanting to open an issue so much at any cost that they will completely dismiss what is asked in CONTRIBUTING. This is rude, disrespectful and a burden on the maintainer(s) of _any_ project.

In order to keep my ability to maintain this project for the foreseeable future, I've come to set quite strict rules in CONTRIBUTING. I've had no choice to come to be that strict. Since the time I started this project, I've come to understand that I had to make the choice: be _very strict_ in enforcing CONTRIBUTING, or call it quit.

What is asked in CONTRIBUTING ensure that the free time I volunteer on this project is spent productively, and that the time spent does not overtake everything else in my life. It's not a job, it's a _hobby_. It's _one_ of my hobby.

What is spelled out in CONTRIBUTING correspond to the _"set clear boundaries on my involvement"_ part in this blog post.

Unfortunately, the reality is that some people are just unable and will _never_ be able to grasp the meaning of _boundaries_ (see :-1: above), and will happily dismiss CONTRIBUTING. The least time-consuming way to deal with these cases is _"Closing and marking as invalid, as per CONTRIBUTING"_.
