Tidy with Ruby

Ruby interface to HTML Tidy Library Project (tidy.sf.net).

  require 'tidy'
  Tidy.path = '/usr/lib/libtidy.so'
  html = '<html><title>title</title>Body</html>'
  xml = Tidy.open(:show_warnings=>true) do |tidy|
    tidy.options.output_xml = true
    puts tidy.options.show_warnings
    xml = tidy.clean(html)
    puts tidy.errors
    puts tidy.diagnostics
    xml
  end
  puts xml


output
true
line 1 column 1 - Warning: missing <!DOCTYPE> declaration
line 1 column 7 - Warning: plain text isn't allowed in <head> elements

Note: Couldn't get it to run on Ubuntu version 7.10 or 7.04 (LoadError: no such file to load -- tidy
), however it ran fine on Gentoo.
