Re: A Proposal for Alignment with HTACG

I use Tidy a lot and have been very pleased with it.
However, I've not being using HTML5 much yet, and
HTML5 has changed the rules to the point where it looks
to me as if a good SGML parser is no longer an alternative
to Tidy.

So I think it's *brilliant* altogether if Tidy gets updated.

"to set up" is a phrasal verb =
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrasal_verb),
which means that the two words should be written as two words.
("setup" is the derived phrasal _noun_.)

You heroes.

Is there any prospect of "official" Tidy plugins for Brackets and =
WebStorms?
I got hopelessly lost trying to understand the code of Brackets, or I'd
offer to do it.

I have been subscribed to [email protected] for a long time.
My experience with such shifts is that somehow my subscription _always_
gets lost.  If subscriptions can be moved over *automatically* with no
losses and no subscriber action required, fine.  If not, you *WILL*
lose people.

Sorry, I don't buy that.  Talk about distancing yourselves from the
organisation with custody over the very format that Tidy is *about* =
makes
no sense to me.  W3?  Anyone working with Web stuff knows what that is.
HTACG?  What's that?  The W3C may have a poor history of keeping Tidy up =

*has* a
history behind it.  It is only the W3 brand that will keep HTACG from =
looking
like just another fork.
