which version of tidy do you use? You can get the latest build at
http://tidy.sf.net, please include the version number when reporting an
error (see the FAQs at http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/faq.html for
details).

This only writes errors and warnings to the file, so if the input file
is in good shape, errs.txt will be empty (which allows for convenient
checking of the tidy result, something like if test -z errs.txt ...)

Same here.

tidy index.html 2>&1 >nul   prints the messages to stdout, and discards
the file output.
tidy index.htlm 2>&1 >file  prints the messages to stdout, and the file
output to file.

What behaviour do you see from tidy?
