Yes, it does clearly indicate that `<script` should not be in a script element. However, if that is the case then the W3C validator is also in error by not flagging this as 'invalid'! Is this maybe a validator bug? But then what about the role of tidy as a 'fixer'. My patch could see this is in inverted commas, and could add the escaped `<\script` to successfully fix the document, probably with a warning. It just seems to me the current MESS that tidy outputs in this case is quite unacceptable - ```` <body> <script> var a = '<script'; <\/script> <\/body> <\/html> </script> </body> ```` Or alternatively at least to flag it as an error, thus no output unless forced. The idea is to not generate what would be seen as invalid javascript! That is a seriously compromised document. What do you think? Will also try to cross-post this to the lists to perhaps have a wider audience.
