[ANN] RailsTidy: validates your HTML

Hello everybody,

I needed something to validates my HTML templates so I wrote a plugin
and here is its first version:

RailsTidy is a plugin for Ruby On Rails. It allows you to

* validate your rhtml templates,
* validate the html output of your functional tests,
* clean the html generated by rails.

For doing all this, it uses

* Tidy[1], the popular HTML validator and
* RubyTidy[2], Ruby bindings for Tidy.

More on the RailsTidy[3] page.

* Installation instruction, usage and so on
  are at http://www.cosinux.org/~dam/projects/rails-tidy/doc/,
* Source tree is at 

http://www.cosinux.org/~dam/projects/rails-tidy/rails_tidy,
* Tarball is at
http://www.cosinux.org/~dam/projects/rails-tidy/rails_tidy-0.1.tar.bz2

I’ve seen in recents posts that people where looking for something
to clean their HTML output. The plugin can do it, but this hits
performance
quite a bit.

Hope this helps some peoples,

Regards,

Damien

PS: If someone has the correct mail for the ruby tidy bindings author,
can he
send it to me ? The rubyforge adress seems to not be valid anymore.

Scientists have estimated that the energy given off during the Big Bang
is roughly equal to 1CNRhK (Chuck Norris Roundhouse Kick)

Oh, and I hope this time my server is correctly configured. There should
not be problems, but if you experiences some, please be patient.

Bye

Chuck Norris doesn’t churn butter.
He roundhouse kicks the cows and the butter comes straight out.

Oooh, Nice!

validating html has always been a pain because its so easy to forget to
validate the pages after you edit them, this is going to come in handy.
