Function Documentation

uint TIDY_CALL tidyAccessWarningCount ( TidyDoc tdoc )

Indicates the number of TidyAccess messages that were generated.

Parameters

tdoc	An 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

tdoc	An 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

allocator The 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

tdoc	An 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

tdoc	An 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

tdoc	An 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

tdoc	An 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

tdoc	An 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

tdoc	The TidyDoc on whose behalf you are checking.
filename	The 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

tdoc	An instance of a TidyDoc to query.

void* TIDY_CALL tidyGetAppData ( TidyDoc tdoc )

Returns the data previously stored with tidySetAppData().

Parameters

tdoc	document where data has been stored.

Returns: The pointer to the data block previously stored.

ctmbstr TIDY_CALL tidyLibraryVersion ( void )

Get the version number for the current library.

Returns: The string representing the version number.

int TIDY_CALL tidyLoadConfig	(	TidyDoc	tdoc,
		ctmbstr	configFile
	)

Load an ASCII Tidy configuration file and set the configuration per its contents.

Returns: Returns 0 upon success, or any other value if there was an error.

Parameters

tdoc	The TidyDoc to which to apply the configuration.
configFile	The complete path to the file to load.

int TIDY_CALL tidyLoadConfigEnc	(	TidyDoc	tdoc,

Returns: The string representing the release date.

void TIDY_CALL tidySetAppData	(	TidyDoc	tdoc,
		void *	appData
	)

Allows the host application to store a chunk of data with each TidyDoc instance.

This can be useful for callbacks, such as saving a reference to self within the document.

Parameters

tdoc	The document in which to store the data.
appData	The pointer to a block of data to store.

int TIDY_CALL tidySetCharEncoding	(	TidyDoc	tdoc,

Note: This is the same as using TidySetInCharEncoding() and TidySetOutCharEncoding() to set the same value.

Returns: Returns 0 upon success, or a system standard error number EINVAL.

Parameters

tdoc	The TidyDoc for which you are setting the encoding.
encnam	The encoding name as described above.

int TIDY_CALL tidySetInCharEncoding	(	TidyDoc	tdoc,
		ctmbstr	encnam
	)
