Both identify illegal/deprecated/etc. constructs that authors should be aware of. The key difference is that errors prevent Tidy from producing an output document. This is crucial for some applications (like ours! :) ). Almost all of Tidy's complaints are warnings. I think this is what makes HTML Tidy so valuable. There are other HTML "verifiers" out there, but they do not "tidy"; to them everything is an error. With that point of view, the more Tidy can issue warnings rather than errors, the better. So my question is: Everything seems to be in place for Tidy to treat a missing quotemark as a warning, yet Tidy is treating it as an error. Is this an oversight or perhaps a vestige of earlier versions? Or have I overlooked something and/or are my assumptions faulty? Thanks, Randy
