Re: [Tidy-dev] Re: Instructions for windows users?

Excellent points, to which I usually respond:

Dave's Original: http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/
Tidy Doc Links:  http://tidy.sourceforge.net/#docs
Getting Started: http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/faq.html#what-now

Seriously, though, I have never seen fit to replace Dave's excellent 
exposition on how to run Tidy (link above).  It is aimed directly at HTML 
developers.  Imo, it is the best place to get started.

never gotten credit for it."
