Description
-----------

A PHP library to tidy DOCX XML files: merges successive elements of same type and properties.

By simplifying the markup of DOCX XML, DocxTidy alleviates the efforts needed for custom modifications (for instance DOCX-based templating).

* Merges successive runs having identical run-properties
* Merges successive elements of same type (<w:t>, <w:instrText>) within each run

DocxTidy supports two tidying modes:

1. DOCX files (includes unpacking and re-archiving of contained XML files)
2. XML string

Please Note
-----------

* By merging segmented tags, DocxTidy removes versioning/editing history information
* When run with default settings, DocxTidy removes spellchecking flags ("noProof", "proofErr", "lang")
* DocxTidy removes all xml:space="preserve" flags and re-inserts xml:space="preserve" into all <w:t> and <w:instrText> tags
* To standardize run properties, DocxTidy deletes any font hints
* After unifying consecutive runs w/ identical properties and removing any spellchecking flags, DocxTidy removes any resulting empty tags

Installation
------------

The recommended way to install is via Composer:

```bash
$ composer require gyselroth/docx-tidy
```

```php
tidyDocx('path/to/your.docx');
```
