All,
I'm finding the following document run through Tidy (both 7/26 and 9/27
releases) seems to drop the font tags regardless
of whether the configuration file setting Drop Font Tags is turned on or
off. I have Convert to CSS turned on, but no CSS
is generated.
If I run it through Tidy once with Convert To CSS off though, the Font tag
is preserved. Then I can turn Convert to CSS
back on, run it once more, and the CSS is generated and replaces the font
perfectly. Here is the progression.
-- original document
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>
Untitled
</title>
</head>
<body>
<font color="Black">This is a test to see if HTML tidy will delete the
FONT tags even though
"Drop Font Tags" is not seleted.</font>
</body>
</html>
-- After running through Tidy with Convert to CSS on and Drop Font Tags
off... Notice the Font tag is dropped...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "boo">
<html>
<head>
<title>
Untitled
</title>
<body>
This is a test to see if HTML tidy will delete the FONT tags even though
"Drop Font Tags" is not seleted.
</html>
-- Now re-run the original document with Convert to CSS off:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "boo">
<html>
<head>
<title>
Untitled
</title>
<body>
<font color="Black">This is a test to see if HTML tidy will delete the
FONT
tags even though "Drop Font Tags" is not seleted.</font>
</html>
-- Now turn Convert to CSS on and run against previous doc. Whoo hoo!
Styles are now generated correctly....
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "boo">
<html>
<head>
<title>
Untitled
</title>
<style type="text/css">
span.c1 {color: Black}
</style>
<body>
<span class="c1">This is a test to see if HTML tidy will delete the FONT
tags even though "Drop Font Tags" is not seleted.</span>
</html>
Bug or feature?
Regards,
Darren
