# Tidier

This crate provides a safe abstraction over the [Tidy](https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5) C library.

## Features

- Currently, it only supports formatting of HTML, XHTML and XML documents.

## Examples

Note: Check out the basic CLI example in the [examples directory](https://github.com/insomnimus/tidier/tree/main/examples).

```rust

use tidier::{Doc, FormatOptions, Indent};

let html = "

Tidy Usage Example

Usage example

";


let opts = FormatOptions {

	wrap: 60,

	strip_comments: true,

	indent: Indent {

		tabs: true,

		..Indent::DEFAULT

	},

	..FormatOptions::DEFAULT

};

// Alternatively

let opts = FormatOptions::new()

	.tabs(true)

	.strip_comments(true)

	.wrap(60);

let doc = Doc::new(html, false)?;

let s1 = doc.format(&opts)?;

// Or for short:

let s2 = tidier::format(html, false, &opts)?;

assert_eq!(s1, s2);

# Ok::<_, tidier::Error>(())

```

## Build Requirements

This crate uses [tidy-sys](https://crates.io/crates/tidy-sys), which generates bindings on the fly using [bindgen](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen), then compiles the tidy C library from source.

Therefore you need;

- clang: For parsing C headers to generate Rust bindings

- A C compiler: To compile the Tidy C library

- CMake: To configure and orchestrate compilation of the Tidy C library (it uses CMake as the build system)

You don't need to install libtidy on your system; `tidy-sys` vendors the source code, builds and links to it statically.
