Just to followup - this is NOT a bug. Tidy's pretty print splits up long strings (e.g. "Demonstration of HTML Tidy's erroneous elimination of empty rows.") across lines, using a "\". This appears to be valid HTML - i.e. if you run the output described above through Tidy again, it finds no problems; also I tested in Netscape, and it was happy. Regards, Terry
