[MarkLogic Dev General] How to get xdmp:tidy() to tidy up HTML5?

Hi Ryan,

Good question! :) I am afraid HTML5 is a bit too new for the current tidy in MarkLogic Server. Let's hope it gets upgraded soon.

Meanwhile you could pass in an input-xml option, but that requires input to be well-formed I guess, and I think it disables several HTML cleanup options as well. Not sure this will work for you..

Kind regards,
Geert

With the new doctype and elements that are part of HTML5, how do you get xdmp:tidy() to recognize those in HTML5?
If I have an html page that contains something like:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

    <header>blah</header>

    <section>blah</section>
and then try something like: xdmp:tidy(xdmp:document-get("home.html"))
I get errors like:

<section> is not recognized! discarding unexpected <section>

<header> is not recognized! discarding unexpected <header>
Are there some options I can send to xdmp:tidy() to get it to handle it?

thanks,
Ryan
