.SH NAME
\fBtidy\fR - validate, correct, and pretty-print HTML files
.br
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBtidy\fR [option ...] [file ...] [option ...] [file ...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Tidy reads HTML, XHTML and XML files and writes cleaned up markup.  For
HTML variants, it detects and corrects many common coding errors and
strives to produce visually equivalent markup that is both W3C
compliant and works on most browsers. A common use of Tidy is to
convert plain HTML to XHTML.  For generic XML files, Tidy is limited to
correcting basic well-formedness errors and pretty printing.
.LP
If no input file is specified, Tidy reads the standard input.  If no
output file is specified, Tidy writes the tidied markup to the standard
output.  If no error file is specified, Tidy writes messages to the
standard error.
For command line options that expect a numerical argument, a default is
assumed if no meaningful value can be found.

Use \fB--\fR\fIoptionX valueX\fR for the detailed configuration option
"optionX" with argument "valueX".  See also below under \fBDetailed
Configuration Options\fR as to how to conveniently group all such
options in a single config file.
.LP
Input/Output default to stdin/stdout respectively. Single letter
options apart from \fB-f\fR and \fB-o\fR may be combined as in:
.LP
.in 1i
\fBtidy -f errs.txt -imu foo.html\fR
.LP
For further info on HTML see \fIhttp://www.w3.org/MarkUp\fR.
.LP
For more information about HTML Tidy, visit the project home page at
\fIhttp://tidy.sourceforge.net\fR.  Here, you will find links to
documentation, mailing lists (with searchable archives) and links to
report bugs.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
.B HTML_TIDY
Name of the default configuration file.  This should be an absolute
path, since you will probably invoke \fBtidy\fR from different
directories.  The value of HTML_TIDY will be parsed after the
compiled-in default (defined with -DTIDY_CONFIG_FILE), but before any
of the files specified using \fB-config\fR.
.SH "EXIT STATUS"
.IP 0
All input files were processed successfully.
.IP 1
There were warnings.
.IP 2
There were errors.

.SH "DETAILED CONFIGURATION OPTIONS"
This section describes the Detailed (i.e., "expanded") Options, which
may be specified by preceding each option with \fB--\fR at the command
line, followed by its desired value, OR by placing the options and
values in a configuration file, and telling tidy to read that file with
the \fB-config\fR standard option.
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBtidy --\fR\fIoption1 \fRvalue1 \fB--\fIoption2 \fRvalue2 [standard
options ...]
.br
\fBtidy -config \fIconfig-file \fR[standard options ...]
.SH WARNING
The options detailed here do not include the "standard" command-line
options (i.e., those preceded by a single '\fB-\fR') described above in
the first section of this man page.
.SH DESCRIPTION
A list of options for configuring the behavior of Tidy, which can be
passed either on the command line, or specified in a configuration
file.
.LP
A Tidy configuration file is simply a text file, where each option
is listed on a separate line in the form
.LP
.in 1i
\fBoption1\fR: \fIvalue1\fR
.br
\fBoption2\fR: \fIvalue2\fR
.br
etc.
.LP
The permissible values for a given option depend on the option's
\fBType\fR.  There are five types: \fIBoolean\fR, \fIAutoBool\fR,
\fIDocType\fR, \fIEnum\fR, and \fIString\fR. Boolean types allow any of
\fIyes/no, y/n, true/false, t/f, 1/0\fR.  AutoBools allow \fIauto\fR in
addition to the values allowed by Booleans.  Integer types take
non-negative integers.  String types generally have no defaults, and
you should provide them in non-quoted form (unless you wish the output
to contain the literal quotes).
.LP
Enum, Encoding, and DocType "types" have a fixed repertoire of items;
consult the \fIExample\fR[s] provided below for the option[s] in
question.
.LP
You only need to provide options and values for those whose defaults
you wish to override, although you may wish to include some
already-defaulted options and values for the sake of documentation and
explicitness.
.LP
Here is a sample config file, with at least one example of each of the
five Types:
.LP
\fI
    // sample Tidy configuration options
    output-xhtml: yes
    add-xml-decl: no
    doctype: strict
    char-encoding: ascii
    indent: auto
    wrap: 76
    repeated-attributes: keep-last
    error-file: errs.txt
\fR
.LP
Below is a summary and brief description of each of the options. They
are listed alphabetically within each category.  There are five
categories: \fIHTML, XHTML, XML\fR options, \fIDiagnostics\fR options,
\fIPretty Print\fR options, \fICharacter Encoding\fR options, and
\fIMiscellaneous\fR options.
.LP
.SH OPTIONS

.SS HTML, XHTML, XML options:

.TP
\fBadd-xml-decl\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should add the XML declaration when
outputting XML or XHTML. Note that if the input already includes an
<?xml ... ?> declaration then this option will be ignored. If the
encoding for the output is different from "ascii", one of the utf
encodings or "raw", the declaration is always added as required by the
XML standard.


.rj 1
\fBSee also\fR: \fIchar-encoding\fR, \fIoutput-encoding\fR
.TP
\fBadd-xml-space\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should add xml:space="preserve" to
elements such as <PRE>, <STYLE> and <SCRIPT> when generating XML. This
is needed if the whitespace in such elements is to be parsed
appropriately without having access to the DTD.
.TP
\fBalt-text\fR

Type:    \fIString\fR
.br
Default: \fI-\fR
.br
Default: \fI-\fR

This option specifies the default "alt=" text Tidy uses for <IMG>
attributes. This feature is dangerous as it suppresses further
accessibility warnings. You are responsible for making your documents
accessible to people who can not see the images!
.TP
\fBassume-xml-procins\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should change the parsing of processing
instructions to require ?> as the terminator rather than >. This option
is automatically set if the input is in XML.
.TP
\fBbare\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should strip Microsoft specific HTML from
Word 2000 documents, and output spaces rather than non-breaking spaces
where they exist in the input.
.TP
\fBclean\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should strip out surplus presentational
tags and attributes replacing them by style rules and structural markup
as appropriate. It works well on the HTML saved by Microsoft Office
products.
.TP
\fBcss-prefix\fR

Type:    \fIString\fR
.br
Default: \fI-\fR
.br
Default: \fI-\fR

This option specifies the prefix that Tidy uses for styles rules. By
default, "c" will be used.
.TP
\fBdoctype\fR

Type:    \fIDocType\fR
.br
Default: \fIauto\fR
.br
Example: \fIomit, auto, strict, transitional, user\fR

This option specifies the DOCTYPE declaration generated by Tidy. If set
to "omit" the output won't contain a DOCTYPE declaration. If set to
"auto" (the default) Tidy will use an educated guess based upon the
contents of the document. If set to "strict", Tidy will set the DOCTYPE
to the strict DTD. If set to "loose", the DOCTYPE is set to the loose
(transitional) DTD. Alternatively, you can supply a string for the
formal public identifier (FPI).
.br

.br
For example:
.br
doctype: "-//ACME//DTD HTML 3.14159//EN"
.br

.br
If you specify the FPI for an XHTML document, Tidy will set the system
identifier to the empty string. For an HTML document, Tidy adds a
system identifier only if one was already present in order to preserve
the processing mode of some browsers. Tidy leaves the DOCTYPE for
generic XML documents unchanged. \fI--doctype omit\fR implies
\fI--numeric-entities yes\fR.
.TP
\fBdrop-empty-paras\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIyes\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should discard empty paragraphs.
.TP
\fBdrop-font-tags\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should discard <FONT> and <CENTER> tags
without creating the corresponding style rules. This option can be set
independently of the clean option.
.TP
\fBdrop-proprietary-attributes\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should strip out proprietary attributes,
such as MS data binding attributes.
.TP
\fBenclose-block-text\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should insert a <P> element to enclose
any text it finds in any element that allows mixed content for HTML
transitional but not HTML strict.
.TP
\fBenclose-text\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should enclose any text it finds in the
body element within a <P> element. This is useful when you want to take
existing HTML and use it with a style sheet.
.TP
\fBescape-cdata\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should convert <![CDATA[]]> sections to
normal text.
.TP
\fBfix-backslash\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIyes\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should replace backslash characters
"\fI\\\fR" in URLs by forward slashes "\fI/\fR".
.TP
\fBfix-bad-comments\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIyes\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should replace unexpected hyphens with
"=" characters when it comes across adjacent hyphens. The default is
yes. This option is provided for users of Cold Fusion which uses the
comment syntax: <!--- --->
.TP
\fBfix-uri\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIyes\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should check attribute values that carry
URIs for illegal characters and if such are found, escape them as HTML
4 recommends.
.TP
\fBhide-comments\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should print out comments.
.TP
\fBhide-endtags\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should omit optional end-tags when
generating the pretty printed markup. This option is ignored if you are
outputting to XML.

.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

error correcting HTML parser.
.TP
\fBjoin-classes\fR

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

.br
Default: \fIyes\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should generate pretty printed output,
writing it as extensible HTML. This option causes Tidy to set the
DOCTYPE and default namespace as appropriate to XHTML. If a DOCTYPE or
namespace is given they will checked for consistency with the content
of the document. In the case of an inconsistency, the corrected values
will appear in the output. For XHTML, entities can be written as named
or numeric entities according to the setting of the "numeric-entities"
option. The original case of tags and attributes will be preserved,
regardless of other options.

Type:    \fIBoolean\fR
.br
Default: \fIno\fR
.br
Example: \fIy/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0\fR

This option specifies if Tidy should pretty print output, writing it as
well-formed XML. Any entities not defined in XML 1.0 will be written as
numeric entities to allow them to be parsed by a XML parser. The
original case of tags and attributes will be preserved, regardless of
other options.

Example: \fIraw, ascii, latin0, latin1, utf8, iso2022, mac, win1252,
ibm858, utf16le, utf16be, utf16, big5, shiftjis\fR

This option specifies the character encoding Tidy uses for both the
input and output. For ascii, Tidy will accept Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1)
character values, but will use entities for all characters whose value
> 127. For raw, Tidy will output values above 127 without translating
them into entities. For latin1, characters above 255 will be written as
entities. For utf8, Tidy assumes that both input and output is encoded
as UTF-8. You can use iso2022 for files encoded using the ISO-2022
family of encodings e.g. ISO-2022-JP. For mac and win1252, Tidy will
accept vendor specific character values, but will use entities for all
characters whose value > 127.

This option specifies if Tidy should write a Unicode Byte Order Mark
character (BOM; also known as Zero Width No-Break Space; has value of
U+FEFF) to the beginning of the output; only for UTF-8 and UTF-16
output encodings. If set to "auto", this option causes Tidy to write a
BOM to the output only if a BOM was present at the beginning of the
input. A BOM is always written for XML/XHTML output using UTF-16 output
encodings.
.TP
\fBoutput-encoding\fR

Type:    \fIEncoding\fR
