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.
-output <file>, -o <file> write output to the specified <file> (output-file: <file>)
-config <file> set configuration options from the specified <file>
-file <file>, -f <file> write errors to the specified <file> (error-file: <file>)
-modify, -m modify the original input files (write-back: yes)
-indent, -i indent element content (indent: auto)
-wrap <column>, -w <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. (wrap: <column>)
-upper, -u force tags to upper case (uppercase-tags: yes)
-clean, -c replace FONT, NOBR and CENTER tags by CSS (clean: yes)
-bare, -b strip out smart quotes and em dashes, etc. (bare: yes)
-numeric, -n output numeric rather than named entities (numeric-entities: yes)
-errors, -e only show errors (markup: no)
-quiet, -q suppress nonessential output (quiet: yes)
-omit omit optional end tags (hide-endtags: yes)
-xml specify the input is well formed XML (input-xml: yes)
-asxml, -asxhtml convert HTML to well formed XHTML (output-xhtml: yes)
-ashtml force XHTML to well formed HTML (output-html: yes)
-access <level> do additional accessibility checks (<level> = 0, 1, 2, 3). 0 is assumed if <level> is missing. (accessibility-check: <level>)
-raw output values above 127 without conversion to entities
-ascii use ISO-8859-1 for input, US-ASCII for output
-latin0 use ISO-8859-15 for input, US-ASCII for output
-latin1 use ISO-8859-1 for both input and output
-iso2022 use ISO-2022 for both input and output

-mac use MacRoman for input, US-ASCII for output
-win1252 use Windows-1252 for input, US-ASCII for output
-ibm858 use IBM-858 (CP850+Euro) for input, US-ASCII for output
-utf16le use UTF-16LE for both input and output
-utf16be use UTF-16BE for both input and output
-utf16 use UTF-16 for both input and output
-big5 use Big5 for both input and output
-shiftjis use Shift_JIS for both input and output
-language <lang> set the two-letter language code <lang> (for future use) (language: <lang>)
-version, -v show the version of Tidy
-help, -h, -? list the command line options
-xml-help list the command line options in XML format
-help-config list all configuration options
-xml-config list all configuration options in XML format
-show-config list the current configuration settings
Use --optionX valueX for the detailed configuration option "optionX" with argument "valueX". See also below under Detailed Configuration Options as to how to conveniently group all such options in a single config file.
Input/Output default to stdin/stdout respectively. Single letter options apart from -f and -o may be combined as in:
tidy -f errs.txt -imu foo.html
For further info on HTML see http://www.w3.org/MarkUp.

HTML_TIDY Name of the default configuration file. This should be an absolute path, since you will probably invoke tidy 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 -config.
tidy -config config-file [standard options ...]
A Tidy configuration file is simply a text file, where each option is listed on a separate line in the form
option1: value1
option2: value2
etc.
The permissible values for a given option depend on the option's Type. There are five types: Boolean, AutoBool, DocType, Enum, and String. Boolean types allow any of yes/no, y/n, true/false, t/f, 1/0. AutoBools allow auto 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).
Enum, Encoding, and DocType "types" have a fixed repertoire of items; consult the Example[s] provided below for the option[s] in question.
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.
Here is a sample config file, with at least one example of each of the five Types:
// 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
Below is a summary and brief description of each of the options. They are listed alphabetically within each category. There are five categories: HTML, XHTML, XML options, Diagnostics options, Pretty Print options, Character Encoding options, and Miscellaneous options.
add-xml-decl Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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 See also: char-encoding, output-encoding
add-xml-space Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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.
alt-text Type: String
Default: -
Default: - 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!
assume-xml-procins Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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.
bare Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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.
clean Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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.
css-prefix Type: String
Default: -
Default: - This option specifies the prefix that Tidy uses for styles rules. By default, "c" will be used.
doctype Type: DocType
Default: auto
Example: omit, auto, strict, transitional, user 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).
For example:
doctype: "-//ACME//DTD HTML 3.14159//EN"
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. --doctype omit implies --numeric-entities yes.
drop-empty-paras Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should discard empty paragraphs.
drop-font-tags Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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.
drop-proprietary-attributes Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should strip out proprietary attributes, such as MS data binding attributes.
enclose-block-text Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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.
enclose-text Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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.
escape-cdata Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should convert <![CDATA[]]> sections to normal text.
fix-backslash Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should replace backslash characters "\\" in URLs by forward slashes "/".
fix-bad-comments Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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: <!--- --->
fix-uri Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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.
hide-comments Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should print out comments.
hide-endtags Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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.
indent-cdata Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should indent <![CDATA[]]> sections.
input-xml Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should use the XML parser rather than the error correcting HTML parser.
join-classes Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should combine class names to generate a single new class name, if multiple class assignments are detected on an element. .rj 1 See also: join-styles, repeated-attributes
join-styles Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should combine styles to generate a single new style, if multiple style values are detected on an element. .rj 1 See also: join-classes, repeated-attributes
literal-attributes Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should ensure that whitespace characters within attribute values are passed through unchanged.
logical-emphasis Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should replace any occurrence of <I> by <EM> and any occurrence of <B> by <STRONG>. In both cases, the attributes are preserved unchanged. This option can be set independently of the clean and drop-font-tags options.
lower-literals Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should convert the value of an attribute that takes a list of predefined values to lower case. This is required for XHTML documents.
merge-divs Type: AutoBool
Default: auto
Example: auto, y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 Can be used to modify behavior of -c (--clean yes) option. This option specifies if Tidy should merge nested <div> such as "<div><div>...</div></div>". If set to "auto", the attributes of the inner <div> are moved to the outer one. As well, nested <div> with ID attributes are not merged. If set to "yes", the attributes of the inner <div> are discarded with the exception of "class" and "style". .rj 1 See also: clean
ncr Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should allow numeric character references.
new-blocklevel-tags Type: Tag names
Default: -
Example: tagX, tagY, ... This option specifies new block-level tags. This option takes a space or comma separated list of tag names. Unless you declare new tags, Tidy will refuse to generate a tidied file if the input includes previously unknown tags. Note you can't change the content model for elements such as <TABLE>, <UL>, <OL> and <DL>. .rj 1 See also: new-empty-tags, new-inline-tags, new-pre-tags
new-empty-tags Type: Tag names
Default: -
Example: tagX, tagY, ... This option specifies new empty inline tags. This option takes a space or comma separated list of tag names. Unless you declare new tags, Tidy will refuse to generate a tidied file if the input includes previously unknown tags. Remember to also declare empty tags as either inline or blocklevel. .rj 1 See also: new-blocklevel-tags, new-inline-tags, new-pre-tags
new-inline-tags Type: Tag names
Default: -
Example: tagX, tagY, ... This option specifies new non-empty inline tags. This option takes a space or comma separated list of tag names. Unless you declare new tags, Tidy will refuse to generate a tidied file if the input includes previously unknown tags. .rj 1 See also: new-blocklevel-tags, new-empty-tags, new-pre-tags
new-pre-tags Type: Tag names
Default: -
Example: tagX, tagY, ... This option specifies new tags that are to be processed in exactly the same way as HTML's <PRE> element. This option takes a space or comma separated list of tag names. Unless you declare new tags, Tidy will refuse to generate a tidied file if the input includes previously unknown tags. Note you can not as yet add new CDATA elements (similar to <SCRIPT>). .rj 1 See also: new-blocklevel-tags, new-empty-tags, new-inline-tags
numeric-entities Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should output entities other than the built-in HTML entities (&, <, > and ") in the numeric rather than the named entity form. .rj 1 See also: doctype
output-html Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should generate pretty printed output, writing it as HTML.
output-xhtml Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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.
output-xml Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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.
quote-ampersand Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should output unadorned & characters as &.
quote-marks Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should output " characters as " as is preferred by some editing environments. The apostrophe character ' is written out as ' since many web browsers don't yet support '.
quote-nbsp Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should output non-breaking space characters as entities, rather than as the Unicode character value 160 (decimal).
repeated-attributes Type: enum
Default: keep-last
Example: keep-first, keep-last This option specifies if Tidy should keep the first or last attribute, if an attribute is repeated, e.g. has two align attributes. .rj 1 See also: join-classes, join-styles
replace-color Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should replace numeric values in color attributes by HTML/XHTML color names where defined, e.g. replace "#ffffff" with "white".
show-body-only Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should print only the contents of the body tag as an HTML fragment. Useful for incorporating existing whole pages as a portion of another page.
uppercase-attributes Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should output attribute names in upper case. The default is no, which results in lower case attribute names, except for XML input, where the original case is preserved.
uppercase-tags Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should output tag names in upper case. The default is no, which results in lower case tag names, except for XML input, where the original case is preserved.
word-2000 Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should go to great pains to strip out all the surplus stuff Microsoft Word 2000 inserts when you save Word documents as "Web pages". Doesn't handle embedded images or VML. You should consider using Word's "Save As: Web Page, Filtered".
accessibility-check Type: enum
Default: 0 (Tidy Classic)
Example: 0 (Tidy Classic), 1 (Priority 1 Checks), 2 (Priority 2 Checks), 3 (Priority 3 Checks) This option specifies what level of accessibility checking, if any, that Tidy should do. Level 0 is equivalent to Tidy Classic's accessibility checking. For more information on Tidy's accessibility checking, visit the Adaptive Technology Resource Centre at the University of Toronto at http://www.aprompt.ca/Tidy/accessibilitychecks.html.
show-errors Type: Integer
Default: 6
Example: 0, 1, 2, ... This option specifies the number Tidy uses to determine if further errors should be shown. If set to 0, then no errors are shown.
show-warnings Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should suppress warnings. This can be useful when a few errors are hidden in a flurry of warnings.
break-before-br Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should output a line break before each <BR> element.
indent Type: AutoBool
Default: no
Example: auto, y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should indent block-level tags. If set to "auto", this option causes Tidy to decide whether or not to indent the content of tags such as TITLE, H1-H6, LI, TD, TD, or P depending on whether or not the content includes a block-level element. You are advised to avoid setting indent to yes as this can expose layout bugs in some browsers. .rj 1 See also: indent-spaces
indent-attributes Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should begin each attribute on a new line.
indent-spaces Type: Integer
Default: 2
Example: 0, 1, 2, ... This option specifies the number of spaces Tidy uses to indent content, when indentation is enabled. .rj 1 See also: indent
markup Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should generate a pretty printed version of the markup. Note that Tidy won't generate a pretty printed version if it finds significant errors (see force-output).
punctuation-wrap Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should line wrap after some Unicode or Chinese punctuation characters.
split Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 Currently not used. Tidy Classic only.
tab-size Type: Integer
Default: 8
Example: 0, 1, 2, ... This option specifies the number of columns that Tidy uses between successive tab stops. It is used to map tabs to spaces when reading the input. Tidy never outputs tabs.
vertical-space Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should add some empty lines for readability.
wrap Type: Integer
Default: 68
Example: 0 (no wrapping), 1, 2, ... This option specifies the right margin Tidy uses for line wrapping. Tidy tries to wrap lines so that they do not exceed this length. Set wrap to zero if you want to disable line wrapping.
wrap-asp Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should line wrap text contained within ASP pseudo elements, which look like: <% ... %>.
wrap-attributes Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should line wrap attribute values, for easier editing. This option can be set independently of wrap-script-literals. .rj 1 See also: wrap-script-literals
wrap-jste Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should line wrap text contained within JSTE pseudo elements, which look like: <# ... #>.
wrap-php Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should line wrap text contained within PHP pseudo elements, which look like: <?php ... ?>.
wrap-script-literals Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should line wrap string literals that appear in script attributes. Tidy wraps long script string literals by inserting a backslash character before the line break. .rj 1 See also: wrap-attributes
wrap-sections Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should line wrap text contained within <![ ... ]> section tags.
ascii-chars Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 Can be used to modify behavior of -c (--clean yes) option. If set to "yes" when using -c, &emdash;, ”, and other named character entities are downgraded to their closest ascii equivalents. .rj 1 See also: clean
char-encoding Type: Encoding
Default: ascii
Example: raw, ascii, latin0, latin1, utf8, iso2022, mac, win1252, ibm858, utf16le, utf16be, utf16, big5, shiftjis 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. .rj 1 See also: input-encoding, output-encoding
input-encoding Type: Encoding
Default: latin1
Example: raw, ascii, latin0, latin1, utf8, iso2022, mac, win1252, ibm858, utf16le, utf16be, utf16, big5, shiftjis This option specifies the character encoding Tidy uses for the input. See char-encoding for more info. .rj 1 See also: char-encoding
language Type: String
Default: -
Default: - Currently not used, but this option specifies the language Tidy uses (for instance "en").
newline Type: enum
Default: Platform dependent
Example: LF, CRLF, CR The default is appropriate to the current platform: CRLF on PC-DOS, MS-Windows and OS/2, CR on Classic Mac OS, and LF everywhere else (Unix and Linux).
output-bom Type: AutoBool
Default: auto
Example: auto, y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 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.
output-encoding Type: Encoding
Default: ascii
Example: raw, ascii, latin0, latin1, utf8, iso2022, mac, win1252, ibm858, utf16le, utf16be, utf16, big5, shiftjis This option specifies the character encoding Tidy uses for the output. See char-encoding for more info. May only be different from input-encoding for Latin encodings (ascii, latin0, latin1, mac, win1252, ibm858). .rj 1 See also: char-encoding
error-file Type: String
Default: -
Default: - This option specifies the error file Tidy uses for errors and warnings. Normally errors and warnings are output to "stderr". .rj 1 See also: output-file
force-output Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should produce output even if errors are encountered. Use this option with care - if Tidy reports an error, this means Tidy was not able to, or is not sure how to, fix the error, so the resulting output may not reflect your intention.
gnu-emacs Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should change the format for reporting errors and warnings to a format that is more easily parsed by GNU Emacs.
gnu-emacs-file Type: String
Default: -
Default: - Used internally.
keep-time Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should keep the original modification time of files that Tidy modifies in place. The default is no. Setting the option to yes allows you to tidy files without causing these files to be uploaded to a web server when using a tool such as SiteCopy. Note this feature is not supported on some platforms.
output-file Type: String
Default: -
Default: - This option specifies the output file Tidy uses for markup. Normally markup is written to "stdout". .rj 1 See also: error-file
quiet Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should output the summary of the numbers of errors and warnings, or the welcome or informational messages.
slide-style Type: String
Default: -
Default: - Currently not used. Tidy Classic only.
tidy-mark Type: Boolean
Default: yes
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should add a meta element to the document head to indicate that the document has been tidied. Tidy won't add a meta element if one is already present.
write-back Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0 This option specifies if Tidy should write back the tidied markup to the same file it read from. You are advised to keep copies of important files before tidying them, as on rare occasions the result may not be what you expect.
