DocBook HTML cleanup
From: Chip Cuccio ####@####.#### Date: 4 Jun 2002 00:09:16 -0000 Message-Id: <20020603190947.453c46e8.chipster@norlug.org> Yaayy...got it working...(thanks go out to Hal and Tabatha!). One quick question, when I render my DB to HTML, I get the infamous: <snip> <html ><head ><title ....etc </snip> I recall seeing some script out there that "cleans up" that strange HTML formatting into something more "beautiful". Does anyone know what I am refering to, or where to retrieve it?

Are you still using the script, or the tools from the HOWTO? One thing, I use Emacs to edit my files, and whenever I load them there, they are fine. No weirdness. And there's a tool to Normalize under one of the drop down menus, which fixes messes like that... Just thought I'd pass that on!

I upgraded from RH 7.2 to 7.3 and it seemed to have broken some stuff, so the HOWTO came in handy...really handy :-) > One thing, I use Emacs to edit my files, and whenever I load them > there, they are fine. No weirdness. And there's a tool to Normalize > under one of the drop down menus, which fixes messes like that... Are you talking about your DB source, or rendered HTML? To edit my DB source, I use Vim, with a really cool DocBook-laden .vimrc (thanks to Greg F. for showing me that vimrc). In case anyone is interested, I got it here: http://www.lodestar2.com/software/docbook/vimrc In any event, I tried Emacs, but I don't seem to have the Normalize command. Maybe it's in your .emacs? Tidy works VERY well, but it inserts another GENERATOR meta tag (on top of DocBook's), and it seems to auto-declare the DOCTYPE as HTML 4.01 Trans. While this may be OK, all I wanted to do is "beautify", not modify my HTML source...ya know? In the interim, I can always write a script to tidy the HTML, then sed/awk out the extraneous stuff Tidy puts into it. Oh well :-/ Thanks for your input, etc! ----------------------------- Chip Cuccio - the DocBook n00b - aspiring LDP contributor chipster --at-- norlug __dot__ org PGP Key: http://www.norlug.org/~chipster/public_key | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It's moldy dark green screen has become my best friend, and plugs in a lot of cool tools, depending on what your file extension is. If you load html, it offers you an html drop-down. > In any event, I tried Emacs, but I don't seem to have the Normalize > command. Maybe it's in your .emacs?

You probably don't have it because you need the psgml plug-in for Emacs, psgml-1.2.4.tar.gz (you can find that at http://sourceforge.net/projects/psgml. Install that and then when you load SGML into Emacs it loads the additional drop-downs, lets you highlight your tags, list valid tags when you're in your doc etc. If you can get through installing this, then you can handle Emacs. Maybe something to try when you're feeling adventurous?
