htmltidy — Clean up gnarly HTML/XML

Inspired by this SO question and because there's a great deal of cruddy HTML out there that needs fixing to use properly when scraping data.

NOTE: Requires libtidy and presently is super-basic (no way to set options and pretty much only does HTML)

brew install tidy-html5 on OS X to get this to work. You'll have to do a bit more leg-work to get it to work on linux (apt-get install libtidy-dev on Ubuntu sticks the library in a tidy subdir off /usr/lib and I don't have a configure script setup yet).

SEEKING COLLABORATORS

This works enough for me to use in a pinch. It should be straightforward (but tedious) to:

  • enable passing options in a list
  • bundle libtidy with the package and get it to work on Windows, linux & MacOS as the library compiles on all three with the necessary tools.

The following functions are implemented:

  • tidy : Clean up gnarly HTML/XML

Installation

devtools::install_github("hrbrmstr/htmltidy")

Usage

library(htmltidy)
