I think it is great, and I find it very useful. I think I stumbled upon an error. When I run it on the attached HTML file. It goes into an endless loop at the following error in my HTML: line 16 column 51 - Warning: discarding unexpected </ol> If I use the -f option and let it run it will fill the hard disk (I only waited until the file was 350Mb big:-) First I thought I knew what the problem was. If you take a close look at "logic.html" you will notice that the line breaks in the file are "0Dh, 0Dh, 0Ah", and I thought this confused Tidy. (The file ends up like this if I transfer it with FTP from my UNIX system in ASCII mode. The Windows 95 FTP client adds the second 0Dh) But then I got the file as binary (now 0Dh, 0Ah for line breaks) and the same thing happens (the attached "logicb.html"). The version of Tidy that I am using is the Win95 console application dated "Tidy (vers 27th September 1999)". I hope this helps you kill a bug :-) Thanks for a great utility! Best regards, Peter P.S. You will notice that the file is a Word 97 document saved as HTML, but I think I have modified it by hand. I don't remember.
