Hi, I'm using Tidy to convert HTML to XML. I've read the other posts and still do not understand why Tidy does certain things: 1) Why does Tidy insert a <!DOCTYPE HTML ...> element when I specify output-xml:yes and doctype:omit? The only way I can eliminate this is to use the output-xhtml:yes and doctype:omit. 2) Why doesn't Tidy escape the character entities in text nodes as default behavior for output-xml since that is required for well-formed XML? I read David Ragget's response (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/html-tidy/2000JulSep/0310.html), but shouldn't the character entities (&,<,>) be escaped under any text node for legitimate XML output? You could also go CDATA, but that seems to be modifying the original document structure. Thanks, Mike
