Subject: [FM Discuss] html tidy implemented

hi

The new Objavi is much more sensitive to html tags than Objavi 1...so
the html source of chapters should be as clean as possible...for
example, in the old objavi it would ignore the BR in this:

<P>some para</P>
<BR>

the new objavi puts an extra line at the BR as it should but this can
look ugly in the final pdf.

so i just added htmltidy to the editor interface. if you click the
little brush icon in the editor you get a choice for some clean up
options:

General tidy up and correction of some problems.
Clean bad HTML from Microsoft Word
Remove custom typefaces (font "styles").
Remove custom font sizes.
Remove custom text colors.
Remove lang attributes.
Replace directional quote marks with non-directional quote marks.




the first option runs htmltidy with the following options:
              'char-encoding' => 'utf8',
              '_output'       => 'warn',
              'indent'        => 'auto',
              'wrap'          => 9999,
              'break-before-br' => 'y',
              'bare'          => 'n',
              'word-2000'     => 'n',
              'drop-empty-paras' => 'y',
              'enclose-text' => 'y',
              'drop-font-tags' => 'n',
              'show-body-only' => 'y',
              'uppercase-tags' => 'y',

to know what these are please look at:
http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html

the other options more or less do as they say...good for cleaning up
junk in the source of any chapter...especially if it was copied and
pasted from a webpage somewhere...
