[Jtidy-user] [Help] Query regarding jtidy and handling of spaces

[SourceForge.net <no...@so...>]

The following forum message was posted by rajorshi at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtidy/forums/forum/41437/topic/3658377:

Hello, I had posted this on jtidy-user mailing list but got no response :( , so trying here...

I\'m trying to use jtidy to format/cleanup some HTML contained in a Java String. What I see is that often, spaces are lost. For instance, suppose the markup is

<span style=\"color:red;\">hello</span><span style=\"color:blue\"> world</span>

The space (not nbsp, but it\'s rendered by browsers and mail clients nevertheless) is lost, and it transforms into:

<span style=\"color:red;\">hello</span><span style=\"color:blue\">world</span>

And hence shows up in a browser as \"helloworld\" instead of \"hello world\".

The following is my code. Am I doing something obviously wrong here?

Code:

InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(rawHtml.getBytes(\"utf-8\"));
Tidy tidy = new Tidy();
tidy.setInputEncoding(\"utf-8\");
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
tidy.parseDOM(is, baos);
String pure = baos.toString(\"utf-8\");


Thanks in advance!
Raj
