133475 - Implement html tidy in composer

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, enhancement)

Description

[Vincent Jaubert]

When you import a page in composer, it produces invalid html code. Could it be
possible to implement html tidy in composer so that we could "tidify" it before
publishing ?

Comment 1

[Alex Bishop]

Unless I'm mistaken, you can already do this by setting 'Reformat HTML source'
in Edit > Preferences > Composer.

Comment 2

[Vincent Jaubert]

It hasn't all the features of tidy (convert to xhtml....), and it DOESN'T
produce valid html or xhtml code.

jjlapin--can you please file individual bugs or explain here what tags are being
mangled for html?  The only bug I know of is for tbody in unsupported dtds.

Comment 4

[Vincent Jaubert]

When using composer to edit a page with xhtml dtd, composer doesn't replace the
dtd with html 4.01 dtd, but add html 4.01 code, so producing invalid code.
Testcase provided: open the testcase in composer, save it as charset utf-8 (or
what you want) and go validate it @ w3c---> xhtml generated is invalid.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
