'Perl: HTML::PrettyPrinter - Handling self-closing tags
I am a newcomer to Perl (Strawberry Perl v5.12.3 on Windows 7), trying to write a script to aid me with a repetitive HTML formatting task. The files need to be hand-edited in future and I want them to be human-friendly, so after processing using the HTML package (HTML::TreeBuilder etc.), I am writing the result to a file using HTML::PrettyPrinter. All of this works well and the output from PrettyPrinter is very nice and human-readable. However, PrettyPrinter is not handling self-closing tags well; basically, it seems to be treat the slash as an HTML attribute. With input like:
<img />
PrettyPrinter returns:
<img /="/" >
Is there anything I can do to avoid this other than preprocessing with a regex to remove the backslash?
Not sure it will be helpful, but here is my setup for the pretty printing:
my $hpp = HTML::PrettyPrinter->new('linelength' => 120, 'quote_attr' => 1);
$hpp->allow_forced_nl(1);
my $output = new FileHandle ">output.html";
if (defined $output) {
$hpp->select($output);
my $linearray_ref = $hpp->format($internal);
undef $output;
$hpp->select(undef),
}
