Dear Folks,
One of the users of the Mac OS version of Tidy reported a problem with the
13 Jan 00 version, that I have also reproduced with the Windows/MS-DOS
version of Tidy (tidy13jan00.exe). It wasn't clear to me what the behaviour
should be. Perhaps the experts could advise.
Using a command line like :
tidy13jan00 -f liam.err -omit liam.htm > liam.out
with the following input :
Input:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy, see www.w3.org">
<title>
Final Exam Questions for Turing
</title>
<body text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff" link="#ff161b" vlink="#8b1e26"
alink="#ff1116">
<img src="/~cs120/cs120logo.gif" align="left" alt="[cs120 logo]">
<center>
<h1>
Final Exam Questions for Turing
</h1>
</center>
produces the following output :
Output:

</center>
No warnings/errors are reported.
The user's question : "When I have Tidy set not to generate XHTML, it drops
the Body tag, resulting in the loss of the bgcolor, etc.". Although the
user was originally using a config file that had a "hide-endtags: yes"
option, we later reproduced the problem by specifying the "-omit" parameter
on the "command line", without using a config file.
So what should the behaviour be?
Regards, Terry
