Developer question: What tool do you use to tidy and indent your code?

Mon, 24 Feb 2014 07:34:32 +0000

Hi everyone, I started with Scite years ago and am using Notepad++ for a while. Problem is the Tidy / Tidy2 plugin seems to be buggy. At least for me :)

I would like to know from you, what tidy tool you use to tidy and indent your PHP code, Javascript, HTML and CSS.

Can somebody recommend a universal tool for that? Offline.

Thanks,
Kai

HTML Validation: end tag for "DIV" omitted, but its declaration does not permit this

Thu, 20 Sep 2012 12:41:29 +0000

Before I waste more hours, could it be that in q2a v1.5.3 the following html validation problem is solved:

end tag for "DIV" omitted, but its declaration does not permit this
</FORM>

start tag was here: <DIV CLASS="qa-q-view-main">

See the validation of my site here: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gute-mathe-fragen.de%2F2450%2Foberflache-des-quaders-wenn-eine-seite-unbekannt-ist&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&verbose=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3

The FORM tag seems to be on the wrong position.

I ask because in my advanced theme I cannot find stuff that could be responsible for the break.

Why is q2a using the span-tag instead of the div-tag?

I checked if the q2a html template is "html tidy" (i.e. validates), and found a lot of span tags the incorporate a lot of other elements, esp. <span class="entry-content">

Why not use a <div> tag instead and have tidy html?

PS: Check it yourself on this site, using the Firefox Addon HTML Validator. You will see 131 warnings, mostly:

+ Warning: inserting implicit <span>

+ Warning: trimming empty <span>
