`tidy_fragment` expects whole document
Observe the following output from the terminal:
In [22]: from tidylib import tidy_fragment
In [27]: doc, errors = tidy_fragment('<strong><div>yup</div></strong>')
In [28]: print(errors)
line 1 column 1 - Warning: missing <!DOCTYPE> declaration
line 1 column 1 - Warning: inserting implicit <body>
line 1 column 1 - Warning: missing </strong> before <div>
line 1 column 14 - Warning: inserting implicit <strong>
line 1 column 23 - Warning: discarding unexpected </strong>
line 1 column 1 - Warning: inserting missing 'title' element
line 1 column 1 - Warning: trimming empty <strong>
I believe it should not require inserting an implicit <body> given that it's just a "fragment".
tidy works on documents; the fragment function was my idea. If I remember correctly it uses an implicit body and then pulls the content back out of the body. The warnings are from tidy itself and are generally of low criticality.
I just tested again after having updated the underlying libtidy and now it works as expected:
In [1]: from tidylib import tidy_fragment
In [2]: doc, errors = tidy_fragment('<strong><div>yup</div></strong>')
In [3]: print(errors)
line 1 column 1 - Warning: missing </strong> before <div>
line 1 column 14 - Warning: inserting implicit <strong>
line 1 column 23 - Warning: discarding unexpected </strong>
line 1 column 1 - Warning: trimming empty <strong>
(note it's no longer complaining about missing <!DOCTYPE> declaration)
Sorry about that, and thanks again for your help!
