`htmltidy`Clean up gnarly HTML/XHTML
`htmltidy`Tidy Up and Test XPath Queries on HTML and XML Content
Inspired by [this SO question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37061873/identify-a-weblink-in-bold-in-r) and because there's a great deal of cruddy HTML out there that needs fixing to use properly when scraping data.
Partly inspired by [this SO question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37061873/identify-a-weblink-in-bold-in-r) and because there's a great deal of cruddy HTML out there that needs fixing to use properly when scraping data.
It relies on a locally included version of [`libtidy`](http://www.html-tidy.org/) and works on macOS, Linux & Windows.
It also incorporates an `htmlwidget` to view and test XPath queries on HTML/XML content.
The following functions are implemented:
- `tidy_html` : Tidy or "Pretty Print" HTML/XHTML Documents
- `tidy_html`: Tidy or "Pretty Print" HTML/XHTML Documents
- `html_view`: HTML/XML pretty printer and viewer
- `xml_view`: HTML/XML pretty printer and viewer
- `html_tree_view`: HTML/XML tree viewer
- `xml_tree_view`: HTML/XML tree viewer

(It's usually between 20 & 25 milliseconds to process those 202 kilobytes of HTML.) Not too shabby.
