Test::...::Tidy5(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Test::HTML::Tidy5 — it's a Test::More-style wrapper around HTML::Tidy5, bestie. Like, it wraps the tidy and lets you test with it. Iconic behavior honestly.

---

✨ VERSION ✨

Version 1.06 🎀 (yes, the number matters, don't @ me)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Test::HTML::Tidy5 tests => 4;

my $table = build_display_table();
html_tidy_ok( $table, 'Built display table properly' );

Look at her go. Four tests, one cute little call, zero chaos. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so, this module hands you a few convenience methods for testing exception based code. It's built with Test::Builder, and it plays so happily with Test::More and friends — like the friend group is thriving, no drama. 🫶

And if you're not already familiar with Test::More? bestie, now would be the time to go take a look. Not me nagging, just saying. 👀

👑 EXPORT 👑

"html_tidy_ok" — that's what you get. 💖

---

🧚 html_tidy_ok( [$tidy, ] $html, $name )

Checks to see if $html is a valid HTML document. Vibe check, but for markup. ✨

If you pass an HTML::Tidy5 object, html_tidy_ok() will use that for its settings. Your tidy, your rules.

my $tidy = HTML::Tidy5->new( {config_file => 'path/to/config'} );
$tidy->ignore( type => TIDY_WARNING, type => TIDY_INFO );
html_tidy_ok( $tidy, $content, "Web page is OK, ignoring warnings and info' );

Otherwise, it will use the default rules.

html_tidy_ok( $content, "Web page passes ALL tests" );

Not me leaving that trailing ' in the example exactly as it was. Copy it character for character, bestie, we don't fix the original, we respect the original. 💀

---

🎀 html_fragment_tidy_ok( [$tidy, ] $html, $name )

Works the same as "html_tidy_ok", but first wraps it up an HTML document. Wraps it up, like a little gift. 🎁

This is useful for when want to validate self-contained snippets of HTML — such as from templates or an HTML feed from a third party — and check that it is valid. Tiny fragment, full main character energy. 🔥
