HTML Tidy for Windows <vers 1st August 2002; built on Aug 8 2002, at 15:41:13>

Parsing Console input <stdin>
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>and do not know what to do next, read on.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Tidy is waiting for your HTML to come in, so it can parse it.
|
|
||||||
Tidy is fundamentally a tool that reads in HTML cleans it up and
|
|
||||||
writes it out again. It was developed as a program you run from the
|
|
||||||
console prompt, but there are GUI encapsulations available, e.g.
|
|
||||||
HTML-Kit, which you might prefer.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you are using Windows, the first step is to unzip the zip file
|
|
||||||
and place the tidy.exe file in a folder somewhere on your executables
|
|
||||||
path. You may also want to set up a config file to save having to type
|
|
||||||
lots of options each time you run Tidy. From the console prompt you can
|
|
||||||
run Tidy like this:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
C> tidy -m mywebpage.html
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In this case, the <code>-m</code> option requests Tidy to write
|
|
||||||
the tidied file back to the same filename as it read from
|
|
||||||
(mywebpage.html). Tidy will give you a breakdown of the problems it
|
|
||||||
found and the version of HTML the file appears to be using.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To get a listing of Tidy command line options, just type
|
|
||||||
<code>tidy -?</code>. To see a listing on configuration options,
|
|
||||||
try <code>tidy -help-config</code>. To get more info on the
|
|
||||||
config options, see the <a
|
|
||||||
href="http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html">Quick Reference</a>.</p>

||||||

|

||||||

<p>For general HTML Tidy support, the original mailing list
|
|
||||||
html-tidy@w3.org is best. Sometimes developers are the last to
|
|
||||||
know... Also, this list covers both Java and C versions, not to
|
|
||||||
mention various value-added products such as GUI front ends, Perl
|
|
||||||
and Python integration, etc. If you don't get a response after a
|
|
||||||
couple tries or if you have a bug fix, bump it over to the
|
|
||||||
developer list at tidy-develop@lists.sourceforge.net. It's not a
|
|
||||||
hard line, but that is the general arrangement.</p>

<dd>
|
|
||||||
<p>You are encouraged to report bugs you found to the Tidy
|
|
||||||
developer team. Tidy's quality depends on your feedback. You can
|
|
||||||
either file your bug report in the Sourceforge <a
|
|
||||||
href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=27659&atid=390963">
|
|
||||||
bug tracker</a> for HTML Tidy (<em>recommended</em>) or send a mail
|
|
||||||
to the mailing list at html-tidy@w3.org. Note you do <em>not</em>
|
|
||||||
have to have a Sourceforge account in order to file bug reports, or
|
|
||||||
be subscribed to html-tidy@w3.org in order to post messages to the
|
|
||||||
list.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Prior to submitting a bug report, please check that the bug is
|
|
||||||
not already known. Many are. If you are not sure, just ask. If it
|
|
||||||
is new bug, make sure to include at least the following information
|
|
||||||
in your report:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>A desciption of what you think went wrong.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>The HTML Tidy version (find it out by running <code>tidy
|
|
||||||
-v</code>) and operating system you are running.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>The input, that exposes the bug.<br />
|
|
||||||
A small HTML document that reproduces the problem is best.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>The configuration options you've used. Command line options
|
|
||||||
like<br />
|
|
||||||
<code>-asxml</code>, configuration files, etc. You may use
|
|
||||||
<code>tidy -show-config</code> to get an overview of the active
|
|
||||||
Tidy settings.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Your e-mail address for further questions and comments.</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>These information are necessary to reproduce whatever is
|
|
||||||
failing, without them we cannot help you. Additional information -
|
|
||||||
and patches - are very welcome!</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><em>Please include only one bug per report.</em> Reports with
|
|
||||||
multiple bugs are less easy to track and some bugs may get
|
|
||||||
missed.</p>

<dd>
|
|
||||||
<p>If you want Tidy to do something new that it doesn't do today
|
|
||||||
(or stop doing something), then it is probably a feature
|
|
||||||
request.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The process for submitting a feature request is very similar to
|
|
||||||
bug requests. A different <a
|
|
||||||
href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=390966&group_id=27659">
|
|
||||||
tracker</a> is used on SourceForge to denote the difference in
|
|
||||||
subject matter.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>As with bugs, please be sure that the feature has not already
|
|
||||||
been requested. If the feature has already requested, you can add
|
|
||||||
your comments to the feature request tracker, or send mail to the
|
|
||||||
<a href="mailto:html-tidy@w3.org">mailing list</a> indicating your
|
|
||||||
wish to also have the feature implemented. If the feature has not
|
|
||||||
already been requested, send the same information as for a bug
|
|
||||||
report, but place special emphasis on the desired output for a
|
|
||||||
given input, desired options, etc. - please be as specific as
|
|
||||||
possible about what you want Tidy to <em>do</em>.</p>

<dt><a name="layout" id="layout"></a>How Do I Control the Output Layout?</dt>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd>
|
|
||||||
<p>There are three primary options that control how Tidy
|
|
||||||
formats your markup:</p>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><a class="code"
|
|
||||||
href="quickref.html#indent">indent</a></li>
|
|
||||||
<li><a class="code"
|
|
||||||
href="quickref.html#indent-attributes">indent-attributes</a></li>
|
|
||||||
<li><a class="code"
|
|
||||||
href="quickref.html#vertical-space">vertical-space</a></li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Briefly, <code>indent</code> sets the level of left-to-right indenting
|
|
||||||
and, somewhat, how often elements are put onto a new line. The options
|
|
||||||
are <code>yes</code>, <code>no</code>, and <code>auto</code>.
|
|
||||||
<code>indent-attributes</code> is a flag that, when set, tells Tidy to
|
|
||||||
put each attribute on a new line. <code>vertical-space</code> is a flag
|
|
||||||
that, when set, tells Tidy to add some empty lines for readability. The
|
|
||||||
default for all three is <code>no</code>. These options may be used in
|
|
||||||
any combination to control you you want your markup to look. The best
|
|
||||||
thing is to experiment a bit to see what you like. Be aware that
|
|
||||||
<code>indent yes</code> is deprecated for production use as it will
|
|
||||||
cause visual changes in most browsers.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To get Tidy <em>Classic</em> <code>--indent auto</code> layout, use the following options:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
indent: auto
|
|
||||||
indent-attributes: no
|
|
||||||
vertical-space: yes
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
<p>The current Source Forge builds are recommended. You can find these at
|
|
||||||
<a href="http://tidy.sourceforge.net">http://tidy.sourceforge.net</a>.
|
|
||||||
People continue to report examples where Tidy does not catch some
|
|
||||||
ill-formed HTML or, worse, generates ill-formed HTML. These cases have
|
|
||||||
been significantly reduced. That said, be sure to test Tidy with some
|
|
||||||
representative files from your environment.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>For development work, use CVS directly on your development
|
|
||||||
system. For information on how to pull Tidy sources from <a
|
|
||||||
href="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=27659">CVS</a>. This way
|
|
||||||
you can keep abreast of changes to Tidy and quickly resolve
|
|
||||||
conflicts.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>For building a front end (e.g. GUI or language binding), the
|
|
||||||
simplest approach is to use TidyLib. For more information
|
|
||||||
about building and coding with TidyLib, see the <a
|
|
||||||
href="http://tidy.sourceforge.net/libintro.html">Introduction To TidyLib</a>.</p>

|
|
||||||
Regression Test?</a></dt>
|
|
||||||
<dd>
|
|
||||||
<p>You might ask, "Why should I run a regression test?". If you
|
|
||||||
are a Tidy user, you might want to compare a new version of Tidy
|
|
||||||
to the version you are currently running. This is a good idea
|
|
||||||
if you are using Tidy in production applications such as web
|
|
||||||
publishing. If you are a Tidy developer, it is a good idea to
|
|
||||||
run the regression test suite to make sure your fix or enhancement
|
|
||||||
doesn't add new bugs.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Detecting new bugs is easier said than done, because sometimes
|
|
||||||
they are subtle and can only be seen in browsers (or one particular
|
|
||||||
browser you don't even have). But you can catch most crashes and
|
|
||||||
many layout problems by running the test suite as described here.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The basic process is simple: run the test suite <strong>before</strong>
|
|
||||||
and <strong>after</strong> making changes to TidyLib and compare the output
|
|
||||||
markup and messages. Be aware that the test scripts for WinNT/2K/XP
|
|
||||||
(alltest.cmd) and Linux/Unix (testall.sh) place the output files in
|
|
||||||
<code>tidy/test/tmp</code>. If you forget to run the <strong>before</strong>
|
|
||||||
test, you can always download a binary from the <a
|
|
||||||
href="http://tidy.sourceforge.net/#binaries">Project Page</a>. If you
|
|
||||||
are not a TidyLib developer, you can download the <a
|
|
||||||
href="http://tidy.sourceforge.net/test/tidy_test.tgz">Test Suite</a>
|
|
||||||
directly. Here are the steps to evaluate the impact of a TidyLib change.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h3>For Windows</h3>
|
|
||||||
<p><strong>Before</strong> making changes:</p>
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
C:\tidy\test> alltest.cmd
|
|
||||||
C:\tidy\test> ren tmp baseline
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><strong>After</strong> making changes and building Tidy:</p>
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
C:\tidy\test> alltest.cmd
|
|
||||||
C:\tidy\test> windiff tmp baseline
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h3>For Linux/Unix</h3>
|
|
||||||
<p><strong>Before</strong> making changes:</p>
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
~/tidy/test$ ./testall.sh
|
|
||||||
~/tidy/test$ mv tmp baseline
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><strong>After</strong> making changes and building Tidy:</p>
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
~/tidy/test$ ./testall.sh
|
|
||||||
~/tidy/test$ diff -u tmp baseline > diff.txt

<p>This is a page where I am keeping the suggestions for
|
|
||||||
improvements or bug fixes. My current work load means that I
|
|
||||||
don't get much time to work on HTML Tidy, so I am interested in
|
|
||||||
offers of help!</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|

<h2>Things awaiting further attention</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>Support for BIG5 and ShiftJIS (Rick Jelliffe)</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Stronger checking on which attributes appear on what
|
|
||||||
elements</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Sorting attributes in a canonical order</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Version checking for HTML 4.01 vs 4.0 (Tidy currently will
|
|
||||||
set the document type to 4.01 in preference to 4.0)</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Noticing that the document isn't really XHTML if it isn't
|
|
||||||
wellformed, i.e. it lacks end tags and quotes on attribute
|
|
||||||
values</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Converting <font face="Symbol">a</font> etc. to
|
|
||||||
the corresponding Unicode characters, when cleaning HTML.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>link checking - this would involve some platform dependent
|
|
||||||
code as the network interface varies significantly from one
|
|
||||||
platform to the next.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>When exporting Word2000 to Web page, there is a need for
|
|
||||||
smarter rules of thumb for working out whether the paragraph is a
|
|
||||||
bulletted or numbered list item, and determining the level of
|
|
||||||
nesting. Perhaps the style attribute holds the key? This tends to
|
|
||||||
include substrings like: "mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2;" and
|
|
||||||
"mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;". Unfortunately, these aren't always
|
|
||||||
present, and I have yet to figure out a foolproof heuristic.</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>I need to set up an index of precisely what attributes are
|
|
||||||
supported on each element. Right now, some elements check their
|
|
||||||
own attributes, whilst others are checked via default checks
|
|
||||||
defined for each attribute independently of the element. Until
|
|
||||||
this is done, you sometimes find that validation services
|
|
||||||
discovering errors unnoticed by Tidy itself.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Jelks Cabaniss asks: <i>Could Tidy be made to automatically
|
|
||||||
"clean" (FONTs to CSS) if the Strict DOCTYPE is requested? An
|
|
||||||
HTML or XHTML Strict document can't have FONT tags according to
|
|
||||||
the DTDs</i>. Jelks has a bunch of other good ideas such as
|
|
||||||
converting the bgcolor attribute over to CSS.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Adding an option to select slide transition effects. I would
|
|
||||||
also like to provide an optional feature for sorting attribute
|
|
||||||
values.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>I am having problems with form elements as direct children of
|
|
||||||
tr or table. It is dangerous to create an implicit table cell,
|
|
||||||
and what is needed is a way to move the form element into the
|
|
||||||
next cell. If this can't be done an error needs to be raised
|
|
||||||
since Tidy will be stuck. On a separate note, Tidy is still
|
|
||||||
breaking lines between <img> and </a> which in
|
|
||||||
Netscape shows as an underlined space. It's fine in IE.</p>

wrapping tidy (release-date 2000.01.13) in some perl objects

|
|

I was wondering what your thoughts would be on how to fix that.
|
|

The character encoding is already a property of struct Out; is
|
|
||||||
there any reason why making it part of struct StreamIn as well,
|
|

and perhaps setting that property in OpenInput, based on the

existing CharEncoding variable, wouldn't allow us to move

CharEncoding to be local to main?</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Oh, in case you're curious about the API, here's a short
|
|
||||||
script using my wrappers to be an html to xhtml filter:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
#!/usr/bin/perl
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
require tidy;
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
my $tidy = Tidy->new(*STDIN);
|
|
||||||
my $document = $tidy->parse;
|
|
||||||
$tidy->as_xhtml(*STDOUT);
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Rick Parsons would like there to be a new wrap-attributes
|
|
||||||
option that can be used to suppress line wrapping within
|
|
||||||
attributes. There is already a similar option for JavaScript
|
|
||||||
literals.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Vijay Patil would like tidy -h to display options sorted
|
|
||||||
alphabetically.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Julian Reschke would like there to be an option to add the
|
|
||||||
xml:space="preserve" attribute to pre elements when outputting
|
|
||||||
xml.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Armando Asantos would like to use Tidy to produce a list of
|
|
||||||
URLs for images or hypertext links according to a config option.
|
|
||||||
This would be straightforward, but is a lower priority than bug
|
|
||||||
fixes etc.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Omri Traub would like an option to wrap the contents of style
|
|
||||||
and script elements in CDATA marked sections when converting to
|
|
||||||
XHTML. He is also interested in direct support for 16 bit
|
|
||||||
character file I/O.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Bertilo Wennergren notes:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<blockquote>If I configure Tidy to "upgrade to style sheets", it
|
|
||||||
does so for a few things in my main document, but the code thus
|
|
||||||
created get error reports if I feed it back to Tidy. It turns out
|
|
||||||
that Tidy creates extra "class" attributes on tags that already
|
|
||||||
have "class" attributes set. This happens with this page:
|
|
||||||
<http://www.concinnity.se/bertilow/index.htm>.</blockquote>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Randi Waki notes:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<blockquote>
|
|
||||||
<p>If a quoted URL attribute value (e.g., href in <a>
|
|
||||||
elements) contains a line break, 13-Jan-2000 Tidy changes the
|
|
||||||
line break to a space while IE and Netscape discard the line
|
|
||||||
break. This can result in a broken link in the tidied
|
|
||||||
document.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>I believe the following change fixes the problem. In lexer.c,
|
|
||||||
insert the following lines before line 2502:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
/* discard line breaks in quoted URLs */
|
|
||||||
if (c == '\n' && IsUrl(name))
|
|
||||||
continue;
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
/* existing line 2502 */ c = ' ';
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
</blockquote>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Stephen Reynolds would like Tidy to keep track of whether a
|
|
||||||
comment started on a new line and preserve this in the
|
|
||||||
output.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Terry Teague says:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<blockquote>
|
|
||||||
<p>Sorry, I should have been more clear. Part of the problem is
|
|
||||||
the current HelpText() function in localize.c doesn't actually
|
|
||||||
reflect current reality.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>You need to at least add the following line to HelpText()
|
|
||||||
:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
tidy_out(out, " -version or -v show version\n");
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>And I suppose it should mention the use of the new
|
|
||||||
"--<config options>" type syntax.</p>

|
||||||

<p>John Russel notes:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
what i wonder is
|
|
||||||
1] does the specification indicate these are WRONG
|
|
||||||
2] if so why do they pass thru tidy ....
|
|
||||||
is url syntax such a can of worms that it is left to user
|
|
||||||
to check .......
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
CASE 1: misuse of slash for folders
|
|
||||||
site had background="pics\fancy.jpg"
|
|
||||||
instead of "pics/fancy.jpg"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
CASE 2: spaces in filename
|
|
||||||
site had href="coin album.html"
|
|
||||||
instead of "coin%20album.html"
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Andre Stechert would like a way to prevent Tidy from
|
|
||||||
"cleaning" newly declared elements which don't have any content
|
|
||||||
but do have end tags, see his mail of 17th January 2000</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Todd Clark would like to use Tidy with Microsoft's WebClass
|
|
||||||
tags. Unfortunately these include unusual characters in the tag
|
|
||||||
names such as @ which Tidy objects to, for instance:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
<WC@DOMAINNAME>test.com</WC@DOMAINNAME>
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Perhaps it makes sense to offer an option to make Tidy less
|
|
||||||
picky about what characters it accepts in tag names. Or perhaps
|
|
||||||
"WebClass: yes".</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Jelks Cabaniss suggests an option to control dropping of empty
|
|
||||||
elements, e.g. according to what attributes they have.</p>

<p>Tidy always expands '&' to '&' even if I have

a good thing to do for URLs that have '&' characters in them.

<p>Paul White reports that Tidy isn't recognizing HTML 3.2 when
|
|
||||||
the doctype is "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN" (as per the REC),
|
|
||||||
and similarly for HTML 4.01. This would appear to call for a
|
|
||||||
change to the table of names in lexer.c.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Stuart Hungerford would like Tidy to detect and fix duplicate
|
|
||||||
attributes e.g. multiple class attributes. Celeste Suliin Burris
|
|
||||||
would like Tidy to replace spaces in URLs by %20 as some versions
|
|
||||||
of Netscape "croak big time" on this. Denis Kokarev also wants
|
|
||||||
Tidy to remove duplicate attributes when the values are the same.
|
|
||||||
This apparently stops XSLT from working. Brian Schweitzer notes
|
|
||||||
that Tidy adds a 2nd class attribute rather than merging the
|
|
||||||
classes into a space separated list.</p>
|
|

<p>Bertilo Wennergren writes: Tidy seems not to recognize frame

<p>Jose Manuel Cerqueira Esteves notes:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
I've used `tidy' to convert a few HTML 4.0 files to XHTML 1.0 and noticed
|
|
||||||
a problem when dealing with constructs like
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<small><small>some text</small></small>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
First, `tidy' acts as if the second "<small>" was meant as a closing tag:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Warning: "<small> is probably intended as </small>"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Then it trims the resulting empty <small></small>:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Warning: trimming empty <small>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And finally both remaining closing tags ("</small>"), now spurious,
|
|
||||||
are removed:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Warning: discarding unexpected </small>
|
|
||||||
Warning: discarding unexpected </small>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It would be convenient to have at least some `tidy' option to prevent this
|
|
||||||
from happening (or perhaps some different heuristics?).
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Robbert Hans Baron would like to see Tidy warning about
|
|
||||||
duplicate attributes and fixing these when the values are
|
|
||||||
identical.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Jutta Wrage notes that: When parsing HTML 3.2 Pages, tidy
|
|
||||||
doesn't accept textareas in forms correctly. The HTML Reference
|
|
||||||
specification (HTML 3.2 Final) allows: name, rows and cols, but
|
|
||||||
upon seeing these Tidy thinks the document is 4.0.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Matthew Brealey notes that a heading start tag is coerced to
|
|
||||||
an end heading tag when the end tag is missing. This is
|
|
||||||
deliberate, but perhaps not the best heuristic.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>HIYAMA Masayuki notes that Tidy should set the encoding
|
|
||||||
attribute to match the language encoding, e.g. ?xml version="1.0"
|
|
||||||
encoding="iso-2022-jp"?><.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Mark Modrall has extended Tidy to support selectively
|
|
||||||
stripping out listed tags and attributes, see his email of March
|
|
||||||
14th.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Yong Taek Bae notes that with the omit end tags option Tidy
|
|
||||||
omits the body tag even if it has attributes. This is an
|
|
||||||
error.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Tapio Markula reports that Tidy is incorrectly replacing
|
|
||||||
accented characters in script elements by entities. The script
|
|
||||||
element (in HTML but not XHTML) is CDATA and as such entities
|
|
||||||
won't be expanded. This bug needs to be fixed along with the
|
|
||||||
support for CDATA sections.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Terrill Bennett reports tidy crashing when producing slides,
|
|
||||||
and when the -i option has been set. He later added the crash
|
|
||||||
occurs when the page doesn't include an h1 element. See
|
|
||||||
Terrill-Bennett-11mar00.txt.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Stephen Lewis notes that if an <hr> element is present
|
|
||||||
in the head before the title element, then Tidy gets confused and
|
|
||||||
adds in a spurious extra empty title element. This would be
|
|
||||||
avoided if Tidy could move the hr into the body before the body
|
|
||||||
element is encountered. This raises a number of problems for
|
|
||||||
instance working out when to copy in attributes from an explicit
|
|
||||||
body element.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Carl Osterly would like Tidy to avoid breaking lines before or
|
|
||||||
after the = sign in attribute values when this is practical.
|
|
||||||
Perhaps a simple rule of thumb could be used to decide this?</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Rick H Wesson notes that Tidy crashes on CDATA marked sections
|
|
||||||
when parsing XML.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|

<p>Luigi Federici would like an option to set the DTD URI for XML
|
|
||||||
or XHTML.</p>

|
|
||||||
<p>Mat Sander notes: If I have php code the indentation behaves
|
|
||||||
strange. Repeated tidying php content and end tag indented one
|
|
||||||
level extra for each time. The result ends up something like

|
||||||
this:</p>

<p>Don Hasson notes that if you make a mistake and leave off the
|
|
||||||
ending "/" in the <title> tag, tidy will generate an extra
|
|
||||||
set of <title>s.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Example:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
<html>
|
|
||||||
<head><title>No end here<title></head>
|
|
||||||
<body>
|
|
||||||
Empty
|
|
||||||
</body>
|
|
||||||
</html>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>produces this:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
<html>
|
|
||||||
<head>
|
|
||||||
<title>No end here</title>
|
|
||||||
<title></title>
|
|
||||||

<p>Jeff Wilkinson would like the HTML Tidy page to include
|
|
||||||
internal anchors so that he can link directly to the appropriate
|
|
||||||
sections.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Peter Vince would like to be able to clean presentation
|
|
||||||
attributes on the body element, as well as translating b and i to
|
|
||||||
span.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Dave Bryan and Mathew Brealey would like there to be a way to
|
|
||||||
suppress the default handling of inline elements in favor of
|
|
||||||
simply inserting the appropriate end tag when encountering an
|
|
||||||
element that isn't allowed in an inline context. The default
|
|
||||||
behavior replicates the rendering on existing browsers but can
|
|
||||||
cause problems for hand editors.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Dave Bryan notes that tidy isn't updating the column position
|
|
||||||
when parsing attributes.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Can Tidy track when a line break occurs after a PI or comment
|
|
||||||
and reproduce this in the output? This idea occurred to me after
|
|
||||||
reading a comment from Brad Stowers.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>One interesting suggestion is to make some of Tidy's rules of
|
|
||||||
thumb sensitive to the program that generated the markup as
|
|
||||||
indicated by the meta element. This would allow for greater
|
|
||||||
robustness in how the rules operate.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Dave Bryan would like the quiet mode to be tweaked to suppress
|
|
||||||
the general info at the end of the report. see
|
|
||||||
Dave-Bryan-24mar00.txt.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Erik Rossen would like an option to suppress line wrap within
|
|
||||||
tags, so that the tag is always on the same line regardless of
|
|
||||||
the number and length of the attributes.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Dan Satria suggest that the clean mechanism check to see if
|
|
||||||
there are any existing matching style rules before adding new
|
|
||||||
ones.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Zoltan Hawryluk suggests mapping the Netscape layer tag into
|
|
||||||
the equivalent CSS positioning syntax.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Jim Walker says Tidy doesn't correctly report errors such as
|
|
||||||
<tt></</head></tt>.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Tidy's slide feature: see Johannes-Poutre-12jul00.txt</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Carole Mah suggests Tidy should recover from multiple class
|
|
||||||
attributes on the same element.</p>

|
|

<?xml encoding="iso-8859-1"></li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Improved mapping from HTML presentation attributes/elements
|
