Please post your test file: I'm not seeing this problem. However, I do see another problem when I try the command I gave: Tidy reads from standard input, and ignores the -asxml option. (Another anomoly: tidy --help produces no output at all.) Moving the -asxml to the start of the line works: deltab@char ~/exp/tidy $ cat testfile.html <title>test</title> <meta name="description" content> deltab@char ~/exp/tidy $ tidy -asxml -f err.txt -m testfile.html deltab@char ~/exp/tidy $ cat err.txt Tidy (vers 4th August 2000) Parsing "testfile.html" testfile.html: Document content looks like HTML 2.0 no warnings or errors were found deltab@char ~/exp/tidy $ cat testfile.html <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy, see www.w3.org" /> <title>test</title> <meta name="description" content="content" /> </head> </html> > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Daniel Biddle" <deltab@osian.net> > To: "Elisabetta D'Alessandro" <dalessandro@reggiani.it> > Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2001 12:16 > Subject: Re: [html-tidy] <none> > > > On Wed, 24 Jan 2001, Elisabetta D'Alessandro wrote: > > > > > No, I have used the command > > > -f err.txt -m filename.htm > > > Is it wrong? > > > > Tidy won't change HTML into XHTML unless you tell it to.
