If you are doing it within Matrix, process() is the function that takes care of it. All you pass in it is string.

Class : [system_root]/fudge/wysiwyg/plugins/html_tidy/html_tidy.inc

Well that is easy enough. And process() returns a string?

The doc comment is slightly misleading (this could be because of the many changes to it). But you must pass a variable into the process() function, the variable will be changed (it is assigned by reference). The function itself will return nothing, but errors and status can be checked by the object variables (var_dump() the object to see what variables are available).

Got it. What is the performance on tidy? Is it pretty quick to process?



I am thinking about writing a keyword modifier that would use tidy.

I think it is, you can check by putting a speed_check('', FALSE) either side of the actual call and look at the times in the error log.

Thanks Ben.



Can I not include the html_tidy.inc file directly? When trying to do the following it can never find the file:


    include SQ_FUDGE_PATH.'/wysiwyg/plugins/html_tidy/html_tidy.inc';


Error:

    Notice: Undefined index: SQ_SYSTEM in /home/websites/mysource_matrix/core/include/general.inc on line 1141

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/websites/mysource_matrix/core/include/general.inc on line 1141

What else do I need to be including?

I figured it out, I needed:

    $ROOT_PATH = SQ_FUDGE_PATH.'/wysiwyg/';
    include SQ_FUDGE_PATH.'/wysiwyg/plugins/html_tidy/html_tidy.inc';

Tidy - if you use the binary package - is fast because it's written in C.



If you are writing your own wrapper you have the option to add other features.



We overlaid a tag stripper and semantic parser to allow reformatting based on known input formats.



The code is on github as a couple of gists if you want to sneak a look

Thanks Richard, I will give it a look this weekend.
