The previous action was to discard the second, while it is the second
table that browsers will render.
This conforms to the principle that the html output by tidy should render
in a browser like the original html.
- Consolidated all output string definitions enums into `tidyenum.h`, which
is where they belong, and where they have proper visibility.
- Re-arranged `messages.c/h` with several comments useful to developers.
- Properly added the key lookup functions and the language localization
functions into tidy.h/tidylib.c with proper name-spacing.
- Previous point restored a *lot* of sanity to the #include pollution that's
been introduced in light of these.
- Note that opaque types have been (properly) introduced. Look at the updated
headers for `language.h`. In particular only an opaque structure is passed
outside of LibTidy, and so use TidyLangWindowsName and TidyLangPosixName
to poll these objects.
- Console application updated as a result of this.
- Removed dead code:
- void TY_(UnknownOption)( TidyDocImpl* doc, char c );
- void TY_(UnknownFile)( TidyDocImpl* doc, ctmbstr program, ctmbstr file );
- Redundant strings were removed with the removal of this dead code.
- Several enums were given fixed starting values. YOUR PROGRAMS SHOULD NEVER
depend on enum values. `TidyReportLevel` is an example of such.
- Some enums were removed as a result of this. `TidyReportLevel` now has
matching strings, so the redundant `TidyReportLevelStrings` was removed.
- All of the PO's and language header files were regenerated as a result of
the string cleanup and header cleanup.
- Made the interface to the library version and release date consistent.
- CMakeLists.txt now supports SUPPORT_CONSOLE_APP. The intention is to
be able to remove console-only code from LibTidy (for LibTidy users).
- Updated README/MESSAGES.md, which is *vastly* more simple now.
- No longer break script tags up on two lines if there is content. However
output is still subject to the `--wrap` behavior.
- Previous behavior intact if there is content.
Todo.
- Associate this with a new Tidy option.
Only deals with a successful case.
TODO: Maybe add a warning/error if the trailing surrogate not found, and
maybe consider substituting to avoid invalid utf-8 output.
* Track tidy.1 before merging duplicate sections
I am adding the file to the git repository to track and review
the changes to this generated file. I will then update the XSLT
transformation which produces this file to remove duplicate sections.
As a first step, I will stop outputting duplicate sections; I will
then merge them into existing sections. I will commit the changes
to the generated file at each step.
Related issue: #469
* Also track changes in text rendering of the man page tidy.1
The rendering to text was done with following command:
/usr/bin/groff -Tascii -mandoc -c tidy.1
This format should make the review of differences more readable.

* Remove duplicate sections: temporarily discard detailed options
Related issue: #469
* Generalize command line given in SYNOPSIS
The new SYNOPSIS expresses the fact that multiple files can
be provided as argument, and that options and files can be mixed
(options apply only to the files specified after, not the ones before).
It does not explain that there are actually two types of options; this
shall be detailed afterwards: simple options (aka standard options) start
with single dash while configuration options start with a double dash.
Only the latter can be defined in configuration files, using their name
without the double dash.
I have also reformatted the terms 'options' and 'file' to be underlined,
to follow conventions that I observed in other man pages (ls, grep, wget...)
Related issue: #469
* Regroup sentences related to options at the start of OPTIONS section
This is an intermediate step before adapting the text to its new
location. I will probably start the section with a paragraph to
introduce the two different kinds of options. Then describe the
"standard" options in more details. Then list the standard options.
Then describe the configuration options in more details. Then list
the configuration options, using a format similar to the one used
for standard options.
Related issue: #469
* Describe "standard" and "expanded" options part of OPTIONS section
The section now starts with a description of both types of options,
and explains that the first part of the section concerns with the
"standard" options while the second part of the section concerns with
the "expanded" options.
More details are provided about "standard" options, which are then
listed individually.
More details are then provided about "expanded" options and their
usage on the command line and in configuration files. The configuration
options are not listed yet. In order to avoid repeating a lot of
information with every separate configuration option, I will first
describe common values and formats; I will then describe each option
more succinctly, like "standard" options.
Related issue: #469
* Remove redundant USAGE section
The fact that the input file defaults to standard input
and the output file to standard output is already indicated
in the DESCRIPTION section. This was the only information
left in this section at this point.
Related issue: #469
* Delete separation line
The line used to separate "standard" usage from "extended" usage.
Both forms are now integrated in the common description of OPTIONS.
Related issue: #469
* Delete DETAILED CONFIGURATION OPTIONS section
The detailed configuration options are now described together
with standard options in a common OPTIONS section.
Related issue: #469
* Delete duplicate SYNOPSIS section
A single generalized SYNOPSIS now encompasses both kinds of options.
Related issue: #469
* Delete WARNING section, no longer relevant
The WARNING referred to a separate section for the description
of "standard" options. They are now described in the same OPTIONS
section as "extended" options.
Related issue: #469
* Copy details of configuration options and file format to OPTIONS
Just before listing all the configuration options, this is the
expected place to describe the "extended" options in more details.
The description was already worded as an introduction to the list
of configuration options. I will update this description after having
compacted entries which describe individual configuration options.
Related issue: #469
* Delete duplicate DESCRIPTION section
This section has been merged into the generalized OPTIONS section.
Related issue: #469
* List configuration options at the end of the OPTIONS section
This list is very long, with lots of duplicate information
repeated for entries of the same type. The description of
configuration options should be compacted to match as closely
as possible the description of "standard" options.
Related issue: #469
* Delete duplicate OPTIONS section
I contained the list of configuration options, which is now included
at the end of the generalized OPTIONS section.
Related issue: #469
* Delete config-section template
The template was now empty. Its contents have been merged
into the cmdline-section template.
Related issue: #469
* Remove redundant sentence
The sentence listed the five categories of configuration options.
This kind of made sense when the options were listed in the following
section. Now that they are listed just below, it has become redundant.
Related issue: #469
* Remove colon ':' at the end of configuration options categories
The categories of "standard" options do not end with a colon;
no title does actually.
Related issue: #469
* Remove extra lines before the list of configuration options
Related issue: #469
* Add double space after period '. ' where missing
For consistency with usage, sentences within paragraphs shall be
separated by a double space rather than a single space. This was
done in most places in the document, with only a few places missing.
Related issue: #469
* Delete irrelevant comment
The comment refers to cmdline section at the start of the processing
of configuration options. The cmdline options are opposed to
config options in the context of this transformation. They are
provided through two separate XML input files.
Related issue: #469
* Delete extra blank line before sample configuration file
Related issue: #469
* Remove multiple empty lines after heading of each options category
Related issue: #469
* Remove duplicate empty line before 'See also:' lines
Related issue: #469
* Clarify the terms used for both kinds of options
I removed references to "standard" (or regular) command-line options
and "extended" (or detailed) options. I used the terms featured in
the description of the options which output XML files describing
each kind of options:
-xml-help
list the command line options in XML format
-xml-config
list all configuration options in XML format
The term for single-dash options is now (purely) command-line options
while double-dash options are referred to as configuration options.
Related issue: #469
* Update copyright year to 2016
* Clarify configuration options equivalent to command-line options
I added a paragraph to explain the equivalence of a command-line
option with a configuration option and value, and to explicit the
format used to describe this equivalence in the description of
command-line parameters.
I moved the parentheses, which were on the last line, at the end
of the description, to the first line at the end of the list of
names for the command-line option.
Related issue: #469
* Use underlines (I) instead of bold (B) for option names in config example
This is for consistency with the format used for the option names in
the equivalent command-line example above, and in the other example
of configuration file.
Related issue: #469
* Update copyright year to 2017
* Add double dash before the name of configuration options
This is a first step for the harmonization of the descriptions
of command-line and configuration options.
Related issue: #469
* Reformat logically to separate formatting (bold) from text (option name)
Related issue: #469
* Move Type after name of configuration option
This puts it in the position expected on the command line.
Related issue: #469
* Move default value after config option name and Type
I tried different formats for the default value:
--clean Boolean:no
--clean Boolean[no]
and more formats after I realized that the 'default' value is
not applied when the value is omitted, but when the option is
not used at all:
--clean Boolean (initially: no)
--clean Boolean (unset: no)
I selected the less confusing format:
--clean Boolean (no if unset)
which is self-explanatory.
Related issue: #469
* Clarify that a configuration option cannot be used without a value
For example, using --clean without a value is not equivalent to
using -clean option:
curl -s https://www.google.com | tidy --clean 2>&1 1>/dev/null | head -n 1
results in:
Config: missing or malformed argument for option: clean
Related issue: #469
* Add double dash before option names in 'See also' sections
This is consistent with the format used at the top of the
description of configuration options.
Related issue: #469
* Fix order of items in comment describing documentation of config options
The 'seealso' comes last actually, after the description.
* Break long lines to keep source code readable in a terminal (80 characters)
This makes no change on the text generated by
/usr/bin/groff -Tascii -mandoc -c tidy.1 > tidy.1.txt
* Only output an empty line when Example section is present
Otherwise, the description starts with an empty line when
no Example section is present.
Related issue: #469
* Simplify matching of example elements with contents
Using a template match instead of a named template,
I will then add rules with higher priority to ignore
examples for certain types of values, which are very
redundant (identical for all options of the same type).
Related issue: #469
* Do not print redundant examples
Examples for Boolean and AutoBool are redundant because they are
described in the main text and identical for all options of that type.
Examples for Tag names are redundant because they are redundant
with the name of the Type, and identical for all options of that type.
Examples for Integer are redundant because they are identical for
all options of that type but one, where the value 0 is followed with
a comment, but even in this case the examples are redundant because
the comment for the value 0 is also included in the description.
Related issue: #469
* Rename 'Examples' section to 'Supported values' to clarify
I also updated the description related to 'Examples' section
in the introduction paragraphs to the configuration options.
Related issue: #469
* Use italics consistently for the names of option types
Related issue: #469
* Use capitalization with no extra style consistently for Type
Previously, a mix of
* Type set in bold font
* Type set in regular font
* "types" (quoted)
* types (unquoted)
was found. I replaced all instances by Type in regular font.
Related issue: #469
* Consistently use bold format for option values
Both parameter names and values are now in bold,
while keys and values for configuration files are in italics.
Related issue: #469
* Use the same format as other subsections for 'See also'
The subsection is now flush left, in regular font, like
the 'Supported values' subsection.
The previous format was less adequate when the list wrapped
to the next line (--new-inline-tags): wrapping started on
the very first column, breaking the alignment of the rest of
the description.
Related issue: #469
* Consistently indent with 2 spaces, use a single line between templates
Parts of the file were indented with 2 spaces, others with 3 spaces.
Parts of the templates were separated with two empty lines, others
with a single one.
* Remove temporary files used for step by step comparisons of man page
