Function Documentation

uint TIDY_CALL tidyAccessWarningCount ( TidyDoc  tdoc)

Indicates the number of TidyAccess messages that were generated.

Parameters
tdocAn instance of a TidyDoc to query.
Returns
Returns the number of TidyAccess messages that were generated.
uint TIDY_CALL tidyConfigErrorCount ( TidyDoc  tdoc)

Indicates the number of configuration error messages that were generated.

Parameters
tdocAn instance of a TidyDoc to query.
Returns
Returns the number of configuration error messages that were generated.
TidyDoc TIDY_CALL tidyCreate ( void  )

The primary creation of a document instance.

Instances of a TidyDoc are used throughout the API as a token to represent a particular document. You must create at least one TidyDoc instance to initialize the library and begin interaction with the API. When done using a TidyDoc instance, be sure to tidyRelease(myTidyDoc); in order to free related memory.

Returns
Returns a TidyDoc instance.
TidyDoc TIDY_CALL tidyCreateWithAllocator ( TidyAllocator *  allocator)

Create a document supplying your own, custom TidyAllocator instead of using the built-in default.

See the Memory Allocation module if you want to create and use your own allocator.

Parameters
allocatorThe allocator to use for creating the document.
Returns
Returns a TidyDoc instance.
Bool TIDY_CALL tidyDetectedGenericXml ( TidyDoc  tdoc)

Indicates whether or not the input document was XML.

If TidyXml tags is true, or there was an XML declaration in the input document, then this function will return yes.

Parameters
tdocAn instance of a TidyDoc to query.
Returns
Returns yes if the input document was XML.
int TIDY_CALL tidyDetectedHtmlVersion ( TidyDoc  tdoc)

Gets the version of HTML that was output, as an integer, times 100.

For example, HTML5 will return 500; HTML4.0.1 will return 401.

Parameters
tdocAn instance of a TidyDoc to query.
Returns
Returns the HTML version number (x100).
Bool TIDY_CALL tidyDetectedXhtml ( TidyDoc  tdoc)

Indicates whether the output document is or isn't XHTML.

Parameters
tdocAn instance of a TidyDoc to query.
Returns
Returns yes if the document is an XHTML type.
uint TIDY_CALL tidyErrorCount ( TidyDoc  tdoc)

Indicates the number of TidyError messages that were generated.

For any value greater than 0, output is suppressed unless TidyForceOutput is set.

Parameters
tdocAn instance of a TidyDoc to query.
Returns
Returns the number of TidyError messages that were generated.
void TIDY_CALL tidyErrorSummary ( TidyDoc  tdoc)

Write more complete information about errors to current error sink.

Parameters
tdocAn instance of a TidyDoc to query.
Bool TIDY_CALL tidyFileExists ( TidyDoc  tdoc,
ctmbstr  filename 
)

Determine whether or not a particular file exists.

On Unix systems, the use of the tilde to represent the user's home directory is supported.

Returns
Returns yes or no, indicating whether or not the file exists.
Parameters
tdocThe TidyDoc on whose behalf you are checking.
filenameThe path to the file whose existence you wish to check.
void TIDY_CALL tidyGeneralInfo ( TidyDoc  tdoc)

Write more general information about markup to current error sink.

Parameters
tdocAn instance of a TidyDoc to query.
void* TIDY_CALL tidyGetAppData ( TidyDoc  tdoc)

Returns the data previously stored with tidySetAppData().

Parameters
tdocdocument where data has been stored.
Returns
The pointer to the data block previously stored.
ctmbstr TIDY_CALL tidyLibraryVersion ( void  )
