Is there any way to beatify the html that is emitted? Some of the html that I generate dynamically is poorly formatted, and it would be somewhat difficult to make it pretty (particularly in the context of the static html that surrounds it). It there a mechanism by which I can (for debugging purposes at least) beatify the final html? For example, is there a hook that allows one to intercept the generated html and apply final processing before emitting it? Or perhaps there is an option in the Webrick server to beatify the output? Or perhaps something else? Thanks, Alex --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

File.open(scratch_html, ''w''){|f| f.write(messy) } gripes = `tidy -eq #{scratch_html} 2>&1` gripes.split("\n") exclude, inclued = gripes.partition do |g| g =~ / - Info\: / or g =~ /Warning\: missing \<\!DOCTYPE\> declaration/ or g =~ /proprietary attribute/ or g =~ /lacks "(summary|alt)" attribute/ end puts inclued if verbosity == :noisy # inclued.map{|i| puts Regexp.escape(i) } assert_xml `tidy -wrap 1001 -asxhtml #{scratch_html} 2>/dev/null` # CONSIDER that should report serious HTML deformities end You can take out the assert_xml if you don''t have yar_wiki (whence that comes). The system will push a scratch.html file into your parent folder, and if the errors Tidy reports are not utterly trivial, it will barf them out when your tests run. When upgrading old websites to Rails I always run things through Tidy -i -asxhtml, before inserting the <%%> tags. The difference in development speed is astounding, when I don''t need to count the freakin'' tags just to nest everything correctly. My Short Cut with O''Reilly has lots more tips on keeping the HTML clean. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596510657 -- Phlip http://flea.sourceforge.net/PiglegToo_1.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You could switch to markaby which makes you write everything in Ruby (akin to XmlBuilder) and emits pretty HTML (I''m pretty sure). http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/markabyForRails.html Having "beautiful" HTML code means very little for a user of your site though...
