RE: I'd like to join tidy developer group

Thank you for your reply.   This is my rough on add GB2312 support to tidy: 

Because the tidy supports traditional Chinese (BIG5), I can follow the code
of BIG5 processing to figure out where I should add my code.   Till now, I
found these functions that have encoding processing code: 

ReadChar, WriteChar, ReadCharFromStream in file "streamio.c"
PPrintChar in file "pprint.c"
ParseEntity in file "lexer.c"

I'll start with the above functions to see what code I should add to support
GB2312. 

This is the first time that I join open source project. Are there any rules
(e.g. coding, documentation) that I need to follow when developing tidy?

I have forwarded this reply to the Tidy-develop mailing list. I would
recommend you sign up for this mailing list if you haven't already done so.


There has been some discussion in the past about adding support for GB2312,
but I don't think anyone else has done it, so we would welcome your input.


I suggest you describe the technical details of your proposal on the
Tidy-develop mailing list, and we will go from there.


Having some sample input (X)HTML documents using GB2312 encoding would be
helpful for testing purposes.


Welcome aboard.
