This report is for the Tidy version of 13th January 2000.
When given a legal HTML 3.2 file, Tidy reports the content to be "HTML
proprietary." For example, this text, which validates at the W3C site:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Valid HTML 3.2</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
...is reported as "HTML proprietary". The cause is the definition of the
HTML 3.2 doctype string at line 60 of lexer.c:
{"HTML 3.2", "XHTML 1.0 Transitional", voyager_loose, VERS_HTML32},
However, the proper doctype string should be:
{"HTML 3.2 Final", "XHTML 1.0 Transitional", voyager_loose, VERS_HTML32},
...according to the HTML 3.2 specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-
html32.html.
