[ciapug] Dynamically formatted HTML Source

[James Loghry]

Carl, Thats what I have been doing as well, and I am trying to remedy
that  ;) .
Tidy actually has a plugin for PHP.  However, when I try to install tidy
on my webserver, it complains about not being able to find php-config
(even when I specify php-config as an argument..

Anyways I may have found an easier route along the lines of appending
the HTML to a DOM structure and then outputting the HTML:

$out = ob_get_contents();
$dom = new DomDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($out);
echo $dom->saveHTML();

I have yet to try this and see if it works, however.
