Using HTML Tidy
About HTML Tidy
HTML Tidy is a powerful, free tool for validating and formatting HTML and XHTML documents. HTMLPad integrates with this wonderful tool and provides a convenient way to use it.
Tidy is able to fix up a wide range of problems and to bring to your attention things that you need to work on yourself. Each item found is listed with the line number and column so that you can see where the problem lies in your markup. Tidy won't generate a cleaned up version when there are problems that it can't be sure of how to handle. These are logged as "errors" rather than "warnings".
Using HTML Tidy
HTML Tidy can perform many different tasks. Each task must be created and configured, before it can be executed. To save your time, there are a set of pre-configured HTML Tidy tasks.
To execute one of the HTML Tidy tasks, on the Tools menu point to HTML Tidy submenu and click on the name of the task.
When HTML Tidy checks your document, items such as "errors" and "warnings" generated by HTML Tidy are displayed in the Messages panel. You can quickly navigate to the problem area by double-clicking error or warning item.
To configure HTML Tidy tasks, on the Tools menu point to HTML Tidy submenu and click Manage Tasks.
Notes
- HTML Tidy may not work properly with some PHP files.
