Beautify HTML like HTML Tidy using htmLawed PHP, or compact it

PHP Labware internal utilities / htmLawed

HTMLAWED 1.1.1 to prettify HTML like HTML Tidy, or to compact it

Some examples illustrating use of the htmLawed PHP script to pretty-print/beautify HTML, or to compact it. Beautification involves using white spaces like tabs and line-breaks to indent HTML code. Compaction removes unnecessary white spaces. In (X)HTML, except for some tag content, tabs, spaces and line-breaks are considered equivalent, and contiguous white spaces are considered as one.

An example input, and various outputs obtained with different $config['tidy'] values are shown (refer to the documentation for more details). For illustration, tabs are rendered as runs of four spaces, and line-breaks are marked by the character ¬. The PHP code used is:

$out = htmLawed($in, array('tidy'=>'some value'));

Valid but ill-formatted input »
