I think I noticed some time ago the code was wrong, but didn't really see a big problem in actual use of Tidy. Anyway, I have now fixed the code to correctly report that "help" (etc) is not a valid config option. Thinking that you actually expected "--help" to operate the same as "-help", be aware that "-help" explains the use of "--" options, and there is an existing feature request report (#480988) for supporting the "standard" --option=value format for parameters, which you can look at : <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=390966&aid=480988&group_id=276 59> Thanks for the report. Regards, Terry
