Jim Derry 5f05add439 Continue the documentation effort!
- Many, many updates to the public header files.
- tidyenum.h was reorganized substantially in order to better generate
  documentation with Doxygen.
- This was also a good time to clean up all of the various enums for languages
  and strings. Everything is simple and in a single enum now, other than a
  couple of cases (TidyOptionId, for example, doesn't need to be redefined).
- A full and complete audit of the strings meant some opportunities to delete
  useless strings.
- Reorganized the order of the strings in language_en.h in order to better
  find things when programmers want to make changes. There are a lot fewer
  internal "sections" now, and everything has been painstakingly sorted within
  the remaining sections.
- Consequently rebased all of the PO's, POT, and other language files.
- Updated several of the READMEs with the newest information.
- Made the READMEs easier to copy into the Doxygen project by changing some of
  the code format for compatibility, mainly the use of tildes instead of
  backslashes for code blocks.
- Added tidyGetMessageCode() to message API. Despite the huge diff, this is the
  only externally-visible change, other than removing some enums (but not their
  values!).
- Passing `next` tests on Mac, Linux, Win10.

Prerequisites

  1. git - http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git

  2. cmake - http://www.cmake.org/download/

  3. appropriate build tools for the platform

  4. the xsltproc tool is required to build and install the tidy.1 man page on Unix-like platforms.

CMake comes in two forms - command line and GUI. Some installations only install one or the other, but sometimes both. The build commands below are only for command line use.

Also the actual build tools vary for each platform. But that is one of the great features of CMake, it can generate variuous 'native' build files. Running cmake --help should list the generators available on that platform. For sure one of the common ones is "Unix Makefiles", which needs autotools make installed, but many other generators are supported.

In Windows CMake offers various versions for MSVC. Again below only the command line use of MSVC is shown, but the tidy solution (*.sln) file can be loaded into the MSVC IDE, and the building done in there.

Build the tidy library and command line tool

  1. cd build/cmake

  2. cmake ../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/for/install]

  3. Windows: cmake --build . --config Release
    Unix/OS X: make

  4. Install, if desired:
    Windows: cmake --build . --config Release --target INSTALL
    Unix/OS X: [sudo] make install

By default cmake sets the install path to /usr/local/bin in Unix. If you wanted the binary in say /usr/bin instead, then in 2. above use -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr.

Also, in Unix if you want to build the release library without any debug assert in the code then add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release in step 2. This adds a -DNDEBUG macro to the compile switches. This is normally added in windows build for the Release config.

In Windows the default install is to C:\Program Files\tidy, or C:/Program Files (x86)/tidy, which is not very useful. After the build the tidy.exe is in the Release directory, and can be copied to any directory in your PATH environment variable for global use.

If you do not need the tidy library built as a 'shared' (DLL) library, then in 2. add the command -DBUILD_SHARED_LIB:BOOL=OFF. This option is ON by default. The static library is always built and linked with the command line tool for convenience in Windows, and so the binary can be run as part of the man page build without the shared library being installed in unix.

See the CMakeLists.txt file for other CMake options offered.

Build PHP with the tidy-html5 library

Due to API changes in the PHP source, buffio.h needs to be renamed to tidybuffio.h in the file ext/tidy/tidy.c in PHP's source.

That is - prior to configuring PHP run this in the PHP source directory:

sed -i 's/buffio.h/tidybuffio.h/' ext/tidy/*.c

And then continue with (just an example here, use your own PHP config options):

./configure --with-tidy=/usr/local
make
make test
make install
