Suppose someone gave us fresh HTML to import as eRB (.rhtml). Such as from
an obsolete PHP project. We ought to upgrade, cleanse, and pretty-print
that HTML like this…tidy -i -asxhtml old.html > new.rhtml
Below my sig is a program to temporarily replace <% and %>
with and run Tidy. Save it as ‘tidyErb.rb’, and use this
usage line:
usage: ruby tidyErb.rb <filename.rhtml> >output.rhtml
‘filename.rhtml’ and ‘output.rhtml’ may not be the same file. The
program
wastes a file called ‘scratch.html’, with no attempt to avoid any source
files with the same name…
As a convenience, the program reports diagnostics to STDERR. Obey them
(per
assert_tidy), to improve your programs!
Note that Tidy treats as flow-tags not block-tags. (My
verbiage.
is a flow-tag, and
line-wraps
the former.)
Searching for <% and moving them to their correct indentation (such as
for
<% end %>) is a small price to pay for clean HTML!
Oh, also, review my gsubs to see if they match what Tidy did to your
RHTML’s
comments, and <%%> nested inside attributes. If I return to this
project, I
will just upgrade Tidy…
