StyleTagHelper results in empty <style> tags

[paulirwin]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new ASP.NET Core web app
2. Add NuGet reference to CdnTagHelpers 1.0.16
3. Add @addTagHelper *, WebEssentials.AspNetCore.CdnTagHelpers to _ViewImports.cshtml
4. Make appsettings.json change as recommended in README
5. Add the style tag below to Index.cshtml
6. Run app, view source. Note that the style tag renders as <style></style> and the rule(s) have been removed.
7. Add @removeTagHelper WebEssentials.AspNetCore.CdnTagHelpers.StyleTagHelper, WebEssentials.AspNetCore.CdnTagHelpers to _ViewImports.cshtml
8. Refresh page, note that styles return

Add to Index.cshtml:

<style>
    .foo {
        color: blue;
    }
</style>

appsettings.json:

{
  "cdn": {
    "url": "https://myname.azureedge.net"
  }
}

Rendered source with StyleTagHelper enabled:

<style></style>

Just experienced the same problem of inline styles getting removed. Any available workaround on this?

You can skip the Style Helper altogether. Update the _ViewImports.cshtml page with the following:

@addTagHelper WebEssentials.AspNetCore.CdnTagHelpers.CdnTagHelper, WebEssentials.AspNetCore.CdnTagHelpers
@addTagHelper WebEssentials.AspNetCore.CdnTagHelpers.PreConnectTagHelper, WebEssentials.AspNetCore.CdnTagHelpers
