This fixes the bug where other GtkTextTags (e.g. from gtkspell) would
confuse us slightly and make us end and restart tags at seemingly random
places. I.e. we would do like </b><b> for seemingly no good reason.
This caused the double link bug on protocols where links didn't have
descriptions. <a href="http://foo.bar">http://foo.bar</a> might be split
into two links. On AIM that doesn't matter, but on Yahoo and MSN it does.
I might have implemented this slightly differently, but I'm assuming that
datallah tested this good and so I don't want to mess with it if it works.
Oh yeah, did i mention datallah wrote this patch? Thanks!
People might want to test this well and make sure we still generate good
html. This is probably one of the most important functions in imhtml, with
gtk_imhtml_insert_html_at_iter being the other one. The latter parses html
and inserts it into a GtkTextBuffer, while the function this patch patches
takes a GtkTextBuffer (or a piece of one) and turns it into html.

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"); - When writing out paths to .gaimrc, use wgaim_escape_dirsep. This is necessary because the Windows dir separator '\' is being used to escape characters, when paths are read in from the .gaimrc file. 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)
