[gaim-migrate @ 16283] SF Patch #1500688 from Brian Chu (roast) He already committed this to his soc-2006-file-loggers branch. Here's the patch description: In util.c, gaim_markup_html_to_xhtml() doesn't trim spaces of parsed background colors, parsed font names, or the end result for styles (which inserted spaces for the purpose of many span.style attributes). For example, things like this get written to the log: <span style='font-size: small; '> Things like the following this _can_ written to the log given a tag like this: <font face=" Comic Sans MS "> <span style='font-family: Comic Sans MS ; '> Same for: <body bgcolor=" Red "> <span style='background: Red ;'> committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>

Notes on keeping GAIM OS independant
------------------------------------

General
-------
- Use G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S and G_DIR_SEPARATOR for paths

- Use g_getenv, g_snprintf, g_vsnprintf

- Use gaim_home_dir instead of g_get_home_dir or g_getenv("HOME")

- Make sure when including win32dep.h that it is the last header to
  be included.

- Open binary files when reading or writing with 'b' mode.

  e.g: fopen("somefile", "wb");

  Not doing so will open files in windows using defaut translation mode. 
  i.e. newline -> <CR><LF>

Paths
-----

- DATADIR, LOCALEDIR & LIBDIR are defined in wingaim as functions.
  Doing the following will therefore break the windows build:

  printf("File in DATADIR is: %s\n", DATADIR G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S "pic.png");

  it should be:

  printf("File in DATADIR is: %s%s%s\n", DATADIR, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S, "pic.png");

PLUGINS & PROTOS
----------------

- G_MODULE_EXPORT all functions which are to be accessed from outside the
  scope of its "dll" or "so". (E.G. gaim_plugin_init)

- G_MODULE_IMPORT all global variables which are located outside your
  dynamic library. (E.G. connections)

  (Not doing this will cause "Memory Access Violations" in Win32)
