DOCUMENTATION HOW-TO

HTML Tidy provides several types of documentation to suit different purposes. This document describes how to generate the following:

htmldoc/api/ (directory)

: This collection of documents describes the TidyLib API and is generated from the comments and code in the Tidy source code.

quickref.html

: This document provides a nice, readable HTML document describing all of the options and settings that you can use with Tidy and internally in TidyLib.

tidy.1

: This document is a Mac/Linux/Unix standard man page.

htmldoc/api/ (directory)

If you want to build the API documentation locally you must have doxygen installed. You can clone the repository from github if it is not currently installed.

Building as simple as:

  • cd {your-tidy-html5-source}/htmldoc/doxygen doxygen.cfg

This will result in a document set in {your-tidy-html5-source}/htmldoc/doxygen/api/, where you can find the main index.html file.

quickref.html

For convenience you can use the quickref.sh shell script on Unix-like systems to build the quickref.html file. Note that it depends on the standard xsltproc utility to build the file.

If you are using a non-Unix operating system or have a different XSLT processor then the following section describes how the file can be built easily.

tidy -xml-config > "tidy-config.xml"

: This uses your up-to-date version of Tidy to generate an XML file containing all of Tidys built-in settings and their descriptions. This file is only temporary, as it will be transformed in the next step.

xsltproc "quickref.xsl" "tidy-config.xml" > "quickref.html"

: This examples uses the xsltproc command to transform tidy-config.xml using the rules in the quickref.xsl stylesheet, and output it to quickref.html.

tidy.1

For convenience you can use the tidy1.sh shell script on Unix-like systems to build the tidy.1 file. Note that it depends on the standard xsltproc utility to build the file.

If you are using a non-Unix operating system or have a different XSLT processor then the following section describes how the file can be built easily.

tidy -xml-config > "tidy-config.xml"

: This uses your up-to-date version of Tidy to generate an XML file containing all of Tidys built-in settings and their descriptions. This file is only temporary, as it will be transformed in the third step.

tidy -xml-help > "tidy-help.xml"

: This uses your up-to-date version of Tidy to generate an XML file containing all of Tidys built-in help information. This file is only temporary, as it will be transformed in the next step.

xsltproc "tidy1.xsl" "tidy-help.xml" > "tidy.1"

: This examples uses the xsltproc command to transform tidy-help.xml using the rules in the tidy1.xsl stylesheet, and output it to tidy.1.

Note that tidy1.xls includes the file tidy-config.xml as part of the stylesheet, and so although it does not appear in the command invocation, it is indeed required.
