Example #1 tidy::parseString() example

<?php
ob_start();
?>

<html>
  <head>
   <title>test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
   <p>error<br>another line</i>
  </body>
</html>

<?php

$buffer = ob_get_clean();
$config = array('indent' => TRUE,
                'output-xhtml' => TRUE,
                'wrap' => 200);

$tidy = tidy_parse_string($buffer, $config, 'UTF8');

$tidy->cleanRepair();
echo $tidy;
?>

The above example will output:
