force tidy to run without saving

cybmole · 03-11-2013, 05:01 AM

in previous version there was a yellow broom icon but that has now gone. I cannot see any "clean this code - now" option

I do have clean set to operate on opening / saving but can find no way to force a cleanup without saving ( and in this crummy code instance - the clean on save operation hangs up...)

I had a poor source where each chapter was one paragraph with double separators between sentences.

I tried all regexing those into & letting tidy insert the matching end tags but could not succeed with that approach, because I could not force tidy to run on the whole book except by saving - which hung up.
I could force a tidy on a per chapter basis by toggling into book view and selecting fix automatically, but there a lot of chapters & I did not want to do them individually like that; I wanted to force a clean of the entire book.

I wimped out, went to calibre & did epub to mobi, then mobi back to epub,.

That sorted it, but what could/should I have done ?

Not trust on Tidy to correctly insert matching end tags? When I do a RegEx S&R which includes changing tags, I always include the closing tags. Seen to many issues with Tidy not identifying the needed end tag correctly or placing it wrong.
This is especially true for nested tags...

I agree but could see no obvious single pass regex solution for repairing this structure:
multiple chapters like this:
<body>
 1st sentence 
 2nd sentence 
 3rd sentence 
....

</body>

NB all classes were the same - calibre4

Maybe this is what you are looking for:
1. In code view, right click anywhere in the code view window.
2. Select "Reformat HTML"
3. Click on "Clean Source" to clean the file in current tab only
4. Click on "Clean Source - All HTML Files" to clean the entire epub book
