you can change where the line wraps:
-wrap <column>, -w <column> (wrap: <column>)
wrap text at the specified <column>. 0 is assumed if <column>
is missing. When this option is omitted, the default
of the configuration option 'wrap' applies.
$ cat x
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head><title>foo</title></head>
<body>
<p>Last update: <!-- #BeginDate format:En2m -->11-Sep-2010 05:53<!--
#EndDate -->
</body></html>
$ tidy -q -w 120 --tidy-mark no x
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>foo</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Last update: <!-- #BeginDate format:En2m -->11-Sep-2010 05:53<!--
#EndDate --></p>
</body>
</html>
