Tidy's XML parser and pretty printer may modify the white space in the document in ways that you do not wish it to, that would already make it an unsuitable tool for this task. It also does not know anything about XSLT, so you cannot expect any context-aware processing. I would suggest to use some other tool, perhaps libxml2's xmllint does a better job with the recover option, I would not count on it though. >a) Can I run tidy on my xsl file in XHTML mode where it doesn't try and >create <html>, <head> and <body> tags to wrap around my code.

So that ><br> becomes <br /> and the like, without having to treat it like HTML?
