Hi Arnaud,

Perfect :-)
I think tidyOptGetDocDesc is what I need to get the description of one 
parameter.

About translation, I would prefer to keep all english word out of the 
genquickref.c.
For example, by defining constant in the H file.

The reason is quite simple, I have received mails from several people 
that wished
to translate the Firefox tidy extension in french, spanish, japanese and 
so on.
Finally, we are a little stuck on the string translation in the tidy 
source code, because
it is impossible for me to ask to people translating to recompile tidy 
on Windows, Linux
and MacOs for each translation. I would like to find a good idea for 
translating tidy.
But without tidy able to accept an optional external file as input for 
translation of string,
I see no way to solve it. 

If it is done in a day in the future, all strings will need to be 
grouped together in a file.
This is why I prefer that you put all the strings together somewhere. 
So, if one day, the
tidy localize.c is rewritten to improve the above, it would not be too 
difficult to do.

Thanks by advance,

Marc
