Increase the width with the -wrap option and/or use
--wrap-attributes yes. The latter would produce something like
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">

Well, this may be impossible some times, e.g. if the attribute value
exceeds the maximum-width given for line wrapping. However, I think it's
far harder to read the source, so Tidy should at least try to do as you
suggest. Any good name for a configuration option to enable/disable
this?
