Karl,
Thanks a lot for this tip. That's exactly what i needed.
The key phrase seems to be (for me): "If your document uses transitional
markup, make sure your DOCTYPE reflects that fact and does not have a URI".
Does that mean I can/should use the transitional doctype declaration:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1">
... but i have to delete the
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/transitional.dtd" part?
I tried, but the images still have white gaps under them.
Can you specify the doctype I need for me?
thanks in advance,
frank

Hi Thaddeus,
First, if I read you right, you are asking for a library version of HTML
Tidy. A couple folks have forged ahead with Tidy libraries. See
http://www.lemburg.com/files/python/mxTidy.html and
http://www.dysfunctionals.org/~lee/TidyCPP.zip, also
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/ablavier/TidyCOM/. Any of these will lag
somewhat
behind the current version. For example, I have used TidyCOM with VB
successfully to do bulk Word-To-HTML conversions.
Otherwise, what you want to do _is_ doable, just not easily in C. In a
shell script or, better, Perl it is not a problem. Simply use existing
Tidy options to send all the errors to a file, output to another file
and,
perhaps, various informational messages to the standard output. The
non-informational messages (warnings and errors) are easily parsed with
a
regular expression or even C strstr().
Also, if you _documenting_ C code, you might try placing C source code
within either the <pre> or <code> tags.
Hope this helps and send along any follow up questions you may have.
thanks,
Charlie

Your best bet is to use Perl; as it was designed for this there are
modules
for exactly this job. For example:
NAME
HTML::LinkExtor - Extract links from an HTML document
SYNOPSIS
require HTML::LinkExtor;
$p = HTML::LinkExtor->new(\&cb, "http://www.perl.org/");
sub cb {
my($tag, %links) = @_;
print "$tag @{[%links]}\n";
}
$p->parse_file("index.html");
DESCRIPTION
*HTML::LinkExtor* is an HTML parser that extracts links from an
HTML
document. The *HTML::LinkExtor* is a subclass of *HTML::Parser*.
This
means that the document should be given to the parser by calling
the
$p->parse() or $p->parse_file() methods.
$p = HTML::LinkExtor->new([$callback[, $base]])
The constructor takes two optional arguments. The first is a
reference to a callback routine. It will be called as links are
found. If a callback is not provided, then links are just
accumulated internally and can be retrieved by calling the
$p->links() method.
The $base argument is an optional base URL used to absolutize
all
URLs found. You need to have the *URI* module installed if you
provide $base.
The callback is called with the lowercase tag name as first
argument, and then all link attributes as separate key/value
pairs.
All non-link attributes are removed.
$p->links
Returns a list of all links found in the document. The returned
values will be anonymous arrays with the follwing elements:
[$tag, $attr => $url1, $attr2 => $url2,...]
The $p->links method will also truncate the internal link list.
This
means that if the method is called twice without any parsing
between
them the second call will return an empty list.
Also note that $p->links will always be empty if a callback
routine
was provided when the *HTML::LinkExtor* was created.
EXAMPLE
This is an example showing how you can extract links from a
document
received using LWP:
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTML::LinkExtor;
use URI::URL;
$url = "http://www.perl.org/"; # for instance
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
# Set up a callback that collect image links
my @imgs = ();
sub callback {
my($tag, %attr) = @_;
return if $tag ne 'img'; # we only look closer at <img ...>
push(@imgs, values %attr);
}
# Make the parser. Unfortunately, we don't know the base yet
# (it might be diffent from $url)
$p = HTML::LinkExtor->new(\&callback);
# Request document and parse it as it arrives
$res = $ua->request(HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url),
sub {$p->parse($_[0])});
# Expand all image URLs to absolute ones
my $base = $res->base;
@imgs = map { $_ = url($_, $base)->abs; } @imgs;
# Print them out
print join("\n", @imgs), "\n";
