tidy ingores specified doctype

When entering following line at the linux console, I should get returned a 
document with the specified doctype, right?

     echo "test" | ./tidy8jul00 --doctype "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"


>doctype: omit, auto, strict, loose or <fpi>
>
>   This property controls the doctype declaration generated by
>   Tidy. If set to omit the output file won't contain a doctype
>   declaration. If set to auto (the default) Tidy will use an
>   educated guess based upon the contents of the document. If set
>   to strict, Tidy will set the doctype to the strict DTD. If set
>   to loose, the doctype is set to the loose (transitional) DTD.
>   Alternatively, you can supply a string for the formal public
>   identifier (fpi) for example:
>
>       doctype: "-//ACME//DTD HTML 3.14159//EN"
>
>   If you specify the fpi for an XHTML document, Tidy will set the
>   system identifier to the empty string. Tidy leaves the
>   document type for generic XML documents unchanged.

Yet, tidy's output is as follows. What am I doing wrong?

>Tidy (vers 8th July 2000) Parsing console input (stdin)

>"stdin" appears to be HTML 3.2
