[Pianod] Problem building web client from source.

[Perette Barella]

Hi Ansen,

The warnings are for an HTML4.0 version of HTML Tidy.  The web client compiles to HTML5; the complaints are about new HTML5 constructs that the older version of Tidy doesn’t recognize.

You can update to HTML Tidy for HTML5 from over here: https://github.com/w3c/tidy-html5

If you’re tinkering with the client, getting the new Tidy running will help you find problems faster and reduce debugging time.

Another option is to just ignore the warnings—try it and see if the client works.  If it doesn't, your last resort is to just skip Tidy, which just validates and cleans the formatted HTML.  In the Makefile, change on line 15: TIDY=cat

If you’re just trying to install the client locally, either of these is probably fine since validation isn’t a big deal.

Best,

Perette
