Tidy Remote HTML (using a web service)

// Clean up some code using a web service. If you need to do this more quickly I suggest using a local tidy installation
// rather than my web service, but this is nice and easy. :)



function tidied($url) {

  /* Cleans up a page via Tidy, returning the cleaned up html as a string

   * By Logan Koester  2007-06-28

   * Props to http://infohound.net/tidy */

  return file_get_contents("http://logankoester.com/tools/tidy.php?q=$url");
