text back. Ill experiment to see if i can get all of it.

Re: Tidy

I installed the gem and i got the example code

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

now i have to change the path to whereever the lib is...well i foudn 
tidys folder in my lib directory and changed the above to this

Tidy.path = 'C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\tidy-1.1.2\lib\tidy\tidylib'

and its complaining saying no such file... i tried

Tidy.path = 
'C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\tidy-1.1.2\lib\tidy\tidylib.rb'

as thats the proper extension of the tidylib file but again it wont 
work.

I cant find any tidylib file with an extenision .so

banging my head even more now ;-)
