html-inline-script-webpack-plugin

A Webpack plugin that converts external <script src> tags to inline <script> blocks, removing the original asset from build output. Current stable version 3.2.1 (Aug 2023) supports Webpack 5; use v1.x for Webpack 4. Requires html-webpack-plugin ^5.0.0 as a peer dependency. Key differentiators: regex-based matching for selective inlining (scriptMatchPattern, htmlMatchPattern), asset preservation (assetPreservePattern), and automatic escaping of </script> inside source code. Updated at a moderate pace with minor and patch releases quarterly. Compatible with multiple HtmlWebpackPlugin instances and respects public path configuration.
