Good find. Thanks. Have submitted bug #477643. Björn, it appears you
intended this behavior to be configurable. Do you agree we should add the
config option? My suggestion is to make a simple --replace-color yes|no
option to work in concert with your existing code and leave the
bidirectional conversion Klaus is requesting as a future task.
Also, the list of portable color names is much bigger than the 16 HTML4
colors. See Danny Goodman's "Dynamic HTML" or
http://www.webflex.nl/support/htmltag/colornames.html Comments appreciated.
take it easy,
Charlie

Subject: CheckColor default
The latest version of tidy automatically replaces hex color values with the
corresponding names. The code looks as if this was supposed to become a
configuration option in the future but is currently hardcoded to yes.
I believe the default should be to not replace colors -- "#000000" is just
as
valid as "black".
The option probably should allow conversions in both directions, i.e.
ColorAttributes: symbolic|hexadecimal|asis
