If you've been poking around the various folders in HTML Purifier,
you may have noticed the <code>maintenance</code> directory. Almost
all of these scripts are devoted to flushing out the various caches
HTML Purifier uses. Normal users don't have to worry about this:
regular library usage is transparent. However, when doing development
work on HTML Purifier, you may find you have to flush one of the
caches.
</p>
<p>
As a general rule of thumb, run <code>flush.php</code> whenever you make
any <em>major</em> changes, or when tests start mysteriously failing.
In more detail, run this script if:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
You added new source files to HTML Purifier's main library.
(see <code>generate-includes.php</code>)
</li>
<li>
You modified the configuration schema (see
<code>generate-schema-cache.php</code>). This usually means
adding or modifying files in <code>HTMLPurifier/ConfigSchema/schema/</code>,
although in rare cases modifying <code>HTMLPurifier/ConfigSchema.php</code>
will also require this.
</li>
<li>
You modified a Definition, or its subsystems. The most usual candidate
is <code>HTMLPurifier/HTMLDefinition.php</code>, which also encompasses
the files in <code>HTMLPurifier/HTMLModule/</code> as well as if you've
<a href="enduser-customize.html">customizing definitions</a> without
the cache disabled. (see <code>flush-generation-cache.php</code>)
</li>
<li>
You modified source files, and have been using the standalone
version from the full installation. (see <code>generate-standalone.php</code>)
</li>
</ul>
<p>
You can check out the corresponding scripts for more information on what they
do.
