-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Thomas, I haven't seen any replies to your message - I hope someone else has replied privately. I use the Macintosh version of Tidy, but can't reproduce either problem (using MacTidy 1.0b12 based on the 4th August Tidy release). I had wondered whether Tidy might object to the META statement if the doctype was either omitted, or not recent, but with several variations, I still can't provoke the errors you see - sorry! I have a vague memory that your "problem 2" was in a very old version of Tidy - maybe you could contact Evrsoft and seek their help in installing the latest version of Tidy? Good Luck, Peter I use 1st Page 2000 from Evrsoft (http://www.evrsoft.com/) to compose my HTML pages. This includes the Tidy HTML tool. I have two problems when I use Tidy HTML in 1st Page 2000. PROBLEM 1 I find that Tidy HTML reports the following line as an error: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> giving the the following error message in Tidy HTML Analysis Results: Warning: <meta> unrecognised attribute value "http-equiv" and 'corrects' it to the following: <meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> PROBLEM 2 Any occurence of "&" is changed to "∓". Consequently, a further Tidy HTML parse reveals the following error: Warning: unescaped & or unknown entitiy "∓" Worse still, it alters the code to "∓mp;". Further parses will continue to append "mp;" to the erroneous code so after a couple more parses, the code is changed to "∓mp;mp;mp;", whilst continuing to show the error message above. I hope that this is of use, and apologise if these problems have been reported by others before.
