SYNOPSIS
tidy [-ioucnmeqh] [-config configuration-file] [-indent] [-omit] [-wrap column] [-upper] [-clean] [-raw | -ascii | -latin1 | -iso2022 | -utf8 | -mac] [-numeric] [-modify] [-errors] [-quiet] [-f error-file] [-xml] [-asxml] [-slides] [-help] [-- configuration-option value] file...

OPTIONS

-config configuration-file
    Set options from configuration-file.

-indent, -i
    Indent contents of elements (by default using 2 spaces).

-omit, -o
    Omit optional endtags.

-wrap column
    Wrap output at column column. (The default is 68.)

-upper, -u
    Output tags in upper case (the default is lower case). If -xml is specified, the original case is preserved, and this option has no effect. Also note that it doesn't affect attribute names.

-clean, -c
    Replace <FONT>, <NOBR>, and <CENTER> tags with style properties and rules using CSS (Cascaded Style Sheets).

-raw
    Output characters with values higher than 127 unchanged.

-ascii
    Use Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) for input, and US ASCII for output.

-latin1
    Use Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) for both input and output.

-iso2022
    Use ISO 2022 for both input and output.

-utf8
    Use UTF-8 for both input and output.

-mac
    Use MacRoman for input.

-numeric, -n
    Output numeric rather than named entities.

-modify, -m
    Modify original files in place.

-errors, -e
    Only show errors. The original files will not be modified.

-quiet, -q
    Supress non-essential output (i.e. the welcome message and the summary report).

-f error-file
    Write errors to error-file.

-xml
    Input is well-formed XML.

-asxml
    Convert HTML to well-formed XML.

-slides
    Burst into slides on <H2> elements.

-help, -h
    List command-line options.

--configuration-option value
    Set configuration-option to value.

ENVIRONMENT

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 -DCONFIG_FILE), but before any of the files specified using -config.

EXIT STATUS

0   All input files were processed successfully.

1   There were warnings.

2   There were errors.
