RE: How about converting Webpage to UTF-8 before tidying process ?

Hi Ben,

If you are interested, in the firefox extension of Tidy (http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla)
I do exactly this, but I use the firefox/mozilla library to do it.

It does about something like that:

firefox / original charset --> firefox utf8 conv --> tidy --> then it shows the output webpage 
in unicode rendered by Firefox + the source code.

Then if the user wants, he can copy paste the result in his favorite editor. Due that
he will do that on a OS using the charset he wants, he do not need to think about
saving it in the right charset, it will be the default one.

If not, he needs to take care about choosing the right charset when saving with his editor.

Hi, 

I am thinking that tidy can support more encodings if we make use of the GNU
iconv lib.  We use iconv to convert any encoding of webpage into UTF-8 first
and then do the tidying process. Finally, we convert the webpage back to its
original encoding. 

The flow would be: 

input webpage --> iconv --> tidy --> iconv --> output webpage


How do you think of this idea ? 

Best Regards
