Hi Eric, I've had Tidy for some time now, which I've added as a user tool in EditPlus. The only snag is that all these pages I'm doing are include files. Some are part full of tables and the closing tags are on other pages.
To make it worse, the client insists that I don't change the actual layout of the html text, unless necessary to make it validate. There are multiple spaces everywhere, around every tag, attibute, links etc. No quoted attributes and most tags in uppercase. 4 to 8 blank lines between everything. All spaces that don't affect W3C Transition validation must be left alone. Tidy is great, but even playing with the configure file, I can't stop it putting in missing closing tags, and it strips out all muliple spaces and blank lines. That's why I thought I'd have a go at writing a custom php program, at least to save me typing in every correction. It would be a lot easier to rewrite the whole lot, then cut and paste their content in, but they went bananas when I did this. The tables are nested to an unbelievable depth, some just to get a border and padding, but I can't remove any. The first homepage draft I did was a completely tableless design, clean markup, everything in a common style sheet, looking identical, but they couldn't handle it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 31, 2005 10:13 AM Subject: Re: [php-list] Lowercase problem > the "HTML-tidy.exe" program should do it, change upper case tags to lower > case > that w3.org had it is a free program, > > http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
