Yes I'm sure we would need to do that,
but I would save all that for step 2, step 1 is just calling tidy
and holding the resulting tree in-window,
until the window is freed.

Let ns build as it does today in step 1, but by step 2
a routine render(), perhaps in render.c, will build it by traversing our dom tree.
So we will need to catch and retain text nodes, which aren't even part of our world today.
We have some tag nodes, but no text nodes.

> there is a name collision  ... mkdir

I found the same collision when I tried to recompile an old math program
I wrote 15 years ago.
The call use to be mkdir(file), now, in most libraries,
mkdir(file, mode), yet sometimes mkdir(file) works anyways,
sometimes not.
I'll check into this and most likely change to the second form,
which will most likely fix the problem.
Notice mkdir has the second form in main.c.

> thanks.. this is fun..

It is, but a bit concerning in that I don't know if tidy5
will be maintained long term, but if not, worst case,
we can take it over which is better than writing our own html parser
from scratch as we were doing.
Hurray for open source.
