HtmlTidy is a plugin for the popular cross-browser TTY WYSIWYG editor,
htmlArea (http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/). HtmlTidy
basically queries HTML Tidy (http://tidy.sourceforge.net/) on the
server side, getting it to make-html-nice, instead of relying on masses
of javascript, which the client would have to download.
Hi, this is a quick explanation of how to install HtmlTidy. Much better
documentation is probably required, and you're welcome to write it :)
* The HtmlTidy directory you should have found this file in should
include the following:
- README
This file, providing help installing the plugin.
- html-tidy-config.cfg
This file contains the configuration options HTML Tidy uses to
clean html, and can be modified to suit your organizations
requirements.
- html-tidy-logic.php
This is the php script, which is queried with dirty html and is
responsible for invoking HTML Tidy, getting nice new html and
returning it to the client.
- html-tidy.js
The main htmlArea plugin, providing functionality to tidy html
through the htmlArea interface.
- htmlarea.js.onmode_event.diff
At the time of publishing, an extra event handler was required
inside the main htmlarea.js file. htmlarea.js may be patched
against this file to make the changes reuquired, but be aware
that the event handler may either now be in the core or
htmlarea.js may have changed enough to invalidate the patch.
UPDATE: now it exists in the official htmlarea.js; applying
this patch is thus no longer necessary.

The HtmlTidy icon, for the htmlArea toolbar. Created by Dan
Petty for The University of Western Australia.
- lang/en.js
English language file. Add your own language files here and
please contribute back into the htmlArea community!
The HtmlArea directory should be extracted to your htmlarea/plugins/
directory.
* Make sure the onMode event handler mentioned above, regarding
htmlarea.js.onmode_event.diff, exists in your htmlarea.js
* html-tidy-logic.php should be executable, and your web server should
be configured to execute php scripts in the directory
html-tidy-logic.php exists in.
* HTML Tidy needs to be installed on your server, and 'tidy' should be
an alias to it, lying in the PATH known to the user executing such
web scripts.
* In your htmlArea configuration, do something like this:
HTMLArea.loadPlugin("HtmlTidy");
editor = new HTMLArea("doc");
editor.registerPlugin("HtmlTidy");
* Then, in your htmlArea toolbar configuration, use:
- "HT-html-tidy"
This will create the 'tidy broom' icon on the toolbar, which
will attempt to tidy html source when clicked, and;
- "HT-auto-tidy"
This will create an "Auto Tidy" / "Don't Tidy" dropdown, to
select whether the source should be tidied automatically when
entering source view. On by default, if you'd like it otherwise
you can do so programatically after generating the toolbar :)
(Or just hack it to be otherwise...)
Thank you.
