Should have added this really;
roryh@ulfr tmp 0 1921>> ls
ed.html google.html redhat.html
roryh@ulfr tmp 0 1921>> /usr/local/bin/tidy -i -m -wrap 80 *.html
This does what you want (plus indenting and line wrapping). Again, check
the output of tidy -h.
For even more fun, add this to ~/.bashrc
tidy ()
{
local EXT=$(echo $1 | perl -pe 's/^.*\.(\w+)$/\L$1/');
case $EXT in
html)
TIDYARGS='-i -m -wrap 80'
;;
xml)
TIDYARGS='-i -m -xml -wrap 80'
;;
*)
TIDYARGS=
;;
esac;
# Or wherever...
/usr/local/bin/tidy $TIDYARGS $*
}
--
roryh
