Description

Parses HTML and transforms to JSON.
Sets error log, which can be queried with Text.TidyErrorLog function.

For options, check this website:
https://api.html-tidy.org/tidy/tidylib_api_5.8.0/tidy_quickref.html

Use JSON.Colorize to apply colors if needed.
By default we apply options to use utf-8 for input and output as encoding. Line endings use Char(13) as FileMaker does and we disable the tidy mark for the html header.

Examples

Cleanup HTML:

MBS( "Text.HTMLtoJSON"; "<title>Test" )

Example result:
[ { "tag": "html", "attributes": { "PUBLIC": "" }, "content": null }, { "tag": "html", "attributes": null, "content": [ { "tag": "head", "attributes": null, "content": [ { "tag": "title", "attributes": null, "content": [ "Test\r" ] } ] }, { "tag": "body", "attributes": null, "content": null } ] } ]
