Subject: Unknown Encoding - Post HTMLTidy wrap
Hello, (Thanks for your interesting list discussions since Nov)
Wanted to say thanks for the validator!, that I've been happily using
for the past couple of years, on an Amiga, with the "IBrowse" user
agent. All of the recent changes have been appreciated and work well
on above.
A recent problem I've now noticed has appeared since I introduced an
Amiga port of D.R.'s HTML Tidy as a plugin to an x+ html4.01 editor,
I have been creating software for.
A problem? appears when Tidy wraps a doc. I'd like to know if the way
this has been wrapped is valid? I do notice that the same document
validates when attributes within the document wrapped like this after
the "=" (I personally would wrap after an att="value" quote mark).
eg.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content=
"text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
Results in... Unknown!
