RE: Why behaviour of Tidy online and Windows command is different?

Hi Arnaud,

1) Tidy version at: http://infohound.net/tidy/tidy.pl is as below.
<meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy for Linux/x86 (vers 11
February 2007), see www.w3.org" />

2) Tidy version in my Windows OS local machine
HTML Tidy for Windows released on 6 November 2007

I have used the command: "tidy -f c:\error.txt -m abc.html" to generate
XHTML document.

It is having below problems.

a) It is added tidy meta tag and does not add end tag to it.

<meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy for Windows (vers 6 November
2007), see www.w3.org">

b) It is not able to add end tag to image, <img height="9"
src="contentTwiddle.gif"
tppabs="http://www.abc.com/offer/power/images/content.gif" width="25">

I have checked the error log and it gives the below message.

line 4 column 70 - Warning: <img> proprietary attribute "tppabs"
line 4 column 70 - Warning: <img> lacks "alt" attribute

c) It does not convert tag <br> to <br/>

Can you please provide me how to overcome this problem.

Note: HTML conversion from "http://infohound.net/tidy/tidy.pl" website
very accurate and it is perfectly opening in IE browser. 

Thanks,
Srinivas

You do not tell us which version of tidy you are using. Make sure that
the options are identical. Failing that, contact the person that
maintains "http://infohound.net/tidy/tidy.pl " as this is not link with
the maintainer of tidy.
Good luck,
