    HTML Formatting

    Hey

    I have a class called page. This class outputs a page in html. Now I have a
    function called OutPutHtml

    This outputs html, however I want to be able to do this:

    outputhtml('<bo dy>
    <something');

    So I can keep it nice and formatted. But when I do this there are huge gaps
    in the html. How can I do this so it formats it?

    I hope you get what I mean.
    Thanks

      Outputs
      ========
      <body>
      <something
      ========
      [color=blue]
      > So I can keep it nice and formatted. But when I do this there are huge gaps

      Either do some reformatting inside outputhtml() (like stripping extra
      spaces, extra lines, ...) or pass it a 'nicer' string:

      outputhtml('<ht ml>
      <something');
      [color=blue]
      > I hope you get what I mean.[/color]

      Not sure I did, hope so.

      You're going to have a hard time trying to write 'nice' PHP that also
      outputs 'nice' HTML.

      My HTML is mostly very large lines with a "\n" here and there :)

          The easiest way, is not to care about identation of your tags in your
          code. Use output buffering, run tidy to clean up the generated html,
          and then output the lot.

              Hi

              Thanks for the reply, can you explain this a bit more, I don't quite get
              what you mean, or the functions your talking about.

              Thanks

                  Output buffering means, Your script does not output code until it has
                  finished. In php5, it is possible to have the output sent through Dave
                  Ragget's HTML Tidy which reformats and cleans Your HTML before it is
                  sent to the client. (Extension required)

                  Excellent option, if You already have php5 and the extension installed.
                  Anybody here has done this already?

                  I suppose the HTML better not be _too_ bad, otherwise I don't know what
                  Tidy might do.
