Checks HTML, XHTML and XML documents for common errors and suggests fixes. Also provides options for beautifying and converting code.

Features:

  • Makes it possible to test the latest beta version ("blue version") of HTML Tidy without having to replace the built-in version of HTML Tidy ("red version"). This beta version appears on the Tools tab as a blue broom icon.
  • Suggests fixes for common errors found in HTML, XHTML and XML documents.
  • Ability to read settings from a default Tidy config file.
  • Convert documents to XHTML and XML formats.
  • Upgrade FONT tags to style sheets.
  • Remove optional end tags.
  • Indent / beautify tags/attributes/content.
  • Change tags/attributes to upper/lower case.
  • Strip surplus tags in HTML documents generated using Word.
  • Check for accessibility.
  • Convert hex color values to color names.
  • Convert I and B tags to EM and STRONG tags.
  • Convert to numeric entities.
  • Ability to specify different encoding methods for input and output using a config file.
  • Wrap attribute values.
  • Provides a new plugin interface that other HTML-Kit plugins can use to build new features and services around HTML Tidy. For details on how to communicate with the HTML Tidy plugin, refer to the demoHTMLTidyData plugin in the Developer Releases section of the main plugin page [new].
  • German translation (contributed by Maggie) [v11-Aug-2004].

Usage:

  • To check for common HTML coding errors, open a HTML document and click the blue broom icon on the Tools tab. The code with any fixes suggested by Tidy will appear in the Output window. Any error messages will appear in the Messages Window. Once the generated code is inspected, it can be copied back to the original file by right clicking the Output window and selecting "Copy Output to Editor".
     
  • To automatically read settings from a Tidy config file (instead of using the settings on the Tidy tab under Preferences), save the config file under HTML-Kit\Data\Default\Default.htc and invoke the plugin using its icon.
     
  • To change the language (currently supported: English and German), select "Change language" from the drop-down menu, pick the language, click the "OK" button and restart HTML-Kit.
     
  • For more options, click the down arrow next to the blue Tidy icon.

Notes:

  • This version is designed for beta testers.
