Hello, Mr.Richard. I'm very sorry I'm late for your response. I see what you mean. Thank you. And now, I have another question. HTML Tidy transforms a line in html content like below A to a line in xml content like below B. A. <A>AAAAAAA B. AAAAAAA <A> is lost by HTML Tidy. I want HTML Tidy to transform a line A to a line A. When <A> tag has an attribute like 'href' or 'name', HTML Tidy keeps <A> tag. But, when <A> tag does not have an attribute, HTML Tidy deletes <A> tag. What should I do if HTML Tidy keeps <A> tag when <A> tag has no attributs? Best Regards. "Richard A.

But for HTML it is not.
