Missing semicolon breaks JavaScript when minified

[carpiediem]

I used nPlot to generate a nvd3 plot and it rendered beautifully with knittr. However, when the HTML file was later minified by GitHub Pages jekyll code, the newline that formerly separated two JavaScript statements was no longer there. If rCharts included a semicolon at the end of the data array, everything should work perfectly.

ballots_by_choice_plot <- rCharts::nPlot(Freq ~ vote, data = ballots_by_choice, type = 'pieChart')

Portion of rendered HTML:

{
 "vote": "No",
"Freq": 129763
},
{
 "vote": "Yes",
"Freq": 51821
}
]

      if(!(opts.type==="pieChart" || opts.type==="sparklinePlus" || opts.type==="bulletChart")) {
        var data = d3.nest()

Matching portion of minified HTML

{ "vote": "No", "Freq": 129763 }, { "vote": "Yes", "Freq": 51821 } ] if(!(opts.type==="pieChart" || opts.type==="sparklinePlus" || opts.type==="bulletChart")) { var data = d3.nest()

Should be

{ "vote": "No", "Freq": 129763 }, { "vote": "Yes", "Freq": 51821 } ]; if(!(opts.type==="pieChart" || opts.type==="sparklinePlus" || opts.type==="bulletChart")) { var data = d3.nest()

Is the solution simply to edit line 7 here?

I was able to get my MD file to render on GitHub pages, but it required several semicolons to be added and a pair of JavaScript comments to be deleted. I'll make a pull request that should address all the issues.
