Tidy

[Calion]

I miss the old BBTidy/the BBEdit Tidy command. Tidy exists on the macOS command line. Surely there's some way to combine this terminal command with BBEdit? Somehow?

The version of Tidy that comes with High Sierra dates back to 2006. If I understand it, this version does not work with HTML5.

You can get the latest version -- 5.6.0 -- various ways (such as Homebrew). Details here:

http://www.html-tidy.org

I haven't tried this because I prefer BBEdit's built-in tools, but you could probably (after installing the latest version of tidy) create a bash text filter.

[Greg Raven]

I just installed the HTML5 Tidy binary from the website, and created a text filter thusly:

#!/bin/bash
tidy -clean -indent -utf8

Invoking this against the current front-most document runs Tidy on your HTML, replaces the existing HTML with the Tidy version, and generates a page listing errors and information. Haven't figured out how to suppress the errors and information page without defining a separate config file, but if that's important to do you can experiment.

Which features of Tidy did you find the most helpful? There are quite a few native features in BBEdit that replicate some of the functionality of Tidy. I used to use Tidy religiously, but have found that the baked-in BBEdit features do most of what I need.

#!/bin/sh

tidy

Save the two lines above as "Tidy.sh" in your text filters folder (most likely /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/). Then under the menu Text -> Apply Text Filter you'll see an option for "Tidy". You can even assign it a keystroke if you want.

I think is you pass "-show-errors 0" it turns off error reporting.

[Greg Raven]

That doesn't work for me. That may be something that works in a config file only, not as a command-line switch.

[Mark McLeod]

You could try:

#!/bin/bash

tidy -clean -indent -utf8 2>/dev/null

As you see from this page, the 2> should redirect stderr:

That works. Cock for Dolly!

I use it for making XML documents readable when coding/debugging.

[Kerri Hicks]

Would Markup -> Utilities -> Format do what you need?

[Tom Robinson]

Looks like it could… will give it a shot next time thanks.

Pretty sure I checked BBEdit’s capabilities for XML tidying, but it would’ve been a while ago.

Cheers

There are two reasons I stopped using Macports. One, it requires you to use sudo to install things as root, which is not a great plan. Homebrew is much better about this. Second, Macports requires a *FULL INSTALL* of Xcode, while home-brew requires just the command line utilities (a couple hundred megs versus 5+ GB). Third.. (three! Three reasons!) home-brew self-updates its repository.

$ brew install tidy
