As you may have seen, I added my 'Enhanced IMG alt-text'
to the Feature Requests (#1409151), together with a
full diff file of 12 files changes, including two in
the /htmldoc documentation folder ...

Here is tidydif3.zip, on my web space ...
http://geoffmclane.com/tidy/tidy_03.htm#test
which contains four (4) files, to add to the test
suite -

1. tidydif3t.txt - a diff -u showing the addition of a
test case to testcases.txt ... add 1409151 1 ...

2. test\input\in_1409151.html - an input folder, test
case file, with an IMG with no ALT ...

3. test\input\cfg_1409151.txt - an input folder, test
case configuration file, using each of the modifiers ...

4. test\input\arrow right.gif - a small image file,
with the added case of containing a space character ...
without this file, the %t (time), and %z (size)
modifiers will not function ... obviously ...

Further, in this regard, my code returns 'time/size
unknown' respectively, but I was of two minds whether
anything should be returned when the 'src' file is not
found, or available ...

I have tried to align the in_...html to exactly match
the out_...html that tidy will generate, to facilitate
an easy compare of what has been added ... and took
the chance to put some more -alt-text help in it ...

And, I have made ever effort to ensure the code is
fully cross-platform. The one function, _fullpath(...)
I am unsure about, I have put in a #ifdef WIN32 switch,
but it ALL works WITHOUT this function, so maybe it
could be removed entirely ... depending on the
'communities' ideas, whims ;=))

As usual, I hope this enhanced feature can be added
to CVS, and perhaps a decision made to default to
this feature to ON, so that more than a single piece
of static text can be added as the image
alt description text ...

Enjoy tidying ...

Regards,

Geoff.

PS: RE: Bug #1404077 MSVC (7.1) compiler warning!
Thank you Arnaud and Bjoern for this CVS update ...
It was interesting - I got the emails in the mid
afternoon, 19th, but not until my system clock passed
06:26 PM (I think) did the actual cvs update
work ... some sort of time warp ;=))

PPS: I learned the hard way, bounced email!, and
from Charles, that NOTHING can be attached to a
develop email, so have placed it in my own web
space, with a write-up about the feature ... see -
