    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.

-xml
    Input is well-formed XML.

-help, -h
    List command-line options.

--configuration-option value

ENVIRONMENT

HTML_TIDY
    Name of the default configuration file. This should be an absolute path, since you will probably invoke tidy4 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.
