HTML Tidy has this infuriating habit of putting a newline before the closing tag. For example:
<p>Some text</p>
becomes
<p>Some text
</p>
How do I tell Tidy to keep the closing tag on the same line as the end of the content?
Btw, I am running Tidy through Notepad++, if that makes any difference.
hmm I don't see it in windows.
I am using Tidy with ruby
@tidy.options.output_xhtml = true
@tidy.options.show_body_only = true
@tidy.clean('<p>Some text</p>')
I also ran the tidy script in unbuntu (tidy -m test.htm) but did not see that problem. You can control the spacing using the options at http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html#PrettyPrintHeader
Make sure vertical-space
is set to no
. After much frustration I learned the only thing that switch does is screw up your already somewhat-nicely formatted html by adding newlines where you don't want them.
This is what I use for minimally-invasive tidying (no adding doctypes/head tags, etc.):
tidy -mqi --doctype omit --show-body-only true --show-warnings no --vertical-space no --wrap 0
