Public bug reported: In the past I ran HTML pages through HTML Tidy provided by MacPorts on OS X. I'm now working on a Ubuntu 16.10/Yakkety system, and its doing an awful job on the pages. When I diff the pages nearly everything has changed.
For example, Ubuntu's HTML Tidy is not indenting, its adding extra characters and its stripping whitespace that should remain. Others have experienced the problem, too: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24505764/html-tidy-stripping-space- at-the-start. Please update to a more recent version of HTML Tidy. ********** The nice thing about this report is the pages and the script is located at https://github.com/weidai11/website. You can duplicate with the following. You don't even need to make a change. Just diff after running `cleanup.sh`. git clone https://github.com/weidai11/website cd website ./cleanup.sh HTML Tidy is invoked with the following in the script: # Cleanup HTML files for file in *.html do echo "**************** $file ****************" echo "tidy: processing file $file..." "$HTML_TIDY" --quiet yes --output-bom no --indent auto --wrap 90 -m "$file" echo "sed: processing file $file..." # Delete trailing whitespace "$SED" "${SED_OPTS[@]}" -e's/[[:space:]]*$//' "$file" # Delete the generator markup tag "$SED" "${SED_OPTS[@]}" -e'/<meta name="generator"/d' "$file" # Fix CRLF endings after sed unix2dos "$file" done ********** $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
