As anybody who has inspected the HTML generated with tiddler.text is
rendered to HTML, TiddlyWiki doesn't create perfect HTML. The biggest
standout problems is that instead of making paragraphs, it separates
blocks of text with <br> tags, sometimes 1, sometimes 2, depending on
the number linefeeds present in the original source.
My question: Has anyone come up with a good way to post-process this
HTML so that it can be used as a reasonable DOM (such that paragraphs
are paragraphs etc).
With the help of FND I've come up with the first block (up to
"el.children().appendTo(wholething);" here:
http://cdent.tiddlyspace.com/purpleater
This works to some extent but is not perfect. Compare:
http://cdent.tiddlyspace.com/remotebag
http://tiddlyspace.com/bags/cdent_public/tiddlers/remotebag
The former runs the code and a paragraph after the second list containing
"ControlView" becomes just ControlView. This appears to be because the
code is splitting on two <br> and there is only <br> between the list
and following text.
This suggests that a bit more brains are needed than the simple split.
Before I dive too deeply into figuring this out I thought I ought to
ask the community to see if anyone has worked on something similar.
Thanks.
To state the need a bit more concisely: I want to process the HTML
generated by tiddlywiki to turn blocks of text that look like
paragraphs into real <p> blocks and get rid of the <br>. For the sake
of this exercise there is no access to the original tiddly text, just
the HTML.
