hi Lucian Sabo,
Its really quite a breather for people who care for pure and clean script.
Whit if I ‘ve to use it for utf-8 and not for latin1?
A detailed instruction would add to delightful usage.

Regards.

hi!

great tool! really, saved me alot of work! Just one question: even though i do this:

$cleaner->Options['UseTidy']=false;

it keeps saying:

No tidy support. Please enable it in your php.ini. Only basic cleaning is beeing applied.

Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

@Mark: you provided the right answer. But note that all inline styles will be preserved this way.

Hi,

I love this module, it really saves us from ugly Word tags and the problems they can pose.

I do have one question: is it possible to keep the STYLE attribute? Some of my text has coloring, but after I HTMLCLean it, it is back to black-on-white. Would it be as simple as this:
from
$this->RemoveBlacklistedAttributes(‘class|style’);
to
$this->RemoveBlacklistedAttributes(‘class’);

Thanks.

To make HTMLCleaner parse documents without the body tag, add a condition in HTMLCleaner.php around line 113 like this:

if(stripos($this->html, “ $this->html = stristr( $this->html, “

This modification will be included in a future release.

You can disable RemoveStyles completely.
To leave only the class attribute you must modify the cleanUp method at line 122:
from
$this->RemoveBlacklistedAttributes(‘class|style’);
to
$this->RemoveBlacklistedAttributes(‘style’);

Unfortunately there is no support yet for attribute removal on a particular tag. Removal is done globally.

Excellent work! Thank you very much.
I had one more thought concerning the given algorithm.
Sometimes it is necessary to clear all unnecessary formatting, but thus to leave attribute class at text paragraphs.
It is necessary, first of all, at imposition of long catalogues, when the firm name – a class zagol, the firm address – address, the description of activity of firm – a class about. Good luck!

Version 0.9 introduces the tag-merging cleanup suggested by KonstRuctor.
