Inject references to files into other files (think scripts and stylesheets into an html file).

## Overview
Grunt-asset-injector is a handy tool designed to streamline the process of injecting references to files, such as scripts and stylesheets, directly into HTML files. This plugin is particularly useful for web developers who want to automate their build process and keep their references organized without manually updating them. Forked from grunt-injector, this version removes stale file references from injection blocks, ensuring your project remains up-to-date and efficient.

Although it has been deprecated in favor of its successor, grunt-injector, it's still valuable for those familiar with Grunt and looking for a lightweight solution to manage file injections. This plugin works with Grunt version 0.4.1 or newer, making it easy to integrate into existing projects. 

## Features
- **Template Type**: Specifies the source template filename where injection tags are located, defaulting to the destination file if not provided.

- **Template String**: Allows users to define the contents of the template, overriding the template option if specified.

- **Ignore Path**: Supports defining paths to exclude when injecting file paths, helping to keep outputs clean and relevant.

- **Add Root Slash**: Controls whether a root slash is added to all file paths, providing flexibility in path formatting.

- **Destination File**: Overrides the default destination property of file groups, useful for projects with dynamic file structures.

- **Minification Option**: Automatically switches to minified files if they exist, helping optimize performance without manual intervention.

- **Start and End Tags**: Customizable start and end tags for the injector to identify where to insert file references, ensuring accurate placement.

- **Transform Function**: Allows users to define how injected file paths should be transformed into HTML tags, facilitating a range of outputs tailored to project needs.
