HTML Tidy

The Y.E.S.!™ utilizes a standard HTML code clean-up utility called "HTML Tidy" which formats the HTML code and ensures that it complies with current HTML standards.

An overview of HTML Tidy can be found at http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/

How HTML Tidy is used:   When you preview or upload your website, you are using HTML Tidy.  Most advanced HTML editors on the market today are using some form of HTML Tidy in order to standardize their output.

Configuration:  An HTML Tidy configuration file called "default.tidy", located in the Y.E.S.!™ directory (usually c:\Program Files\YukonSoft\YES) is used to control how HTML Tidy processes your documents.   

Error Log: HTML Tidy keeps a log of errors which it finds within your most recently used document in the file "error.tidy", which is also located in your Y.E.S.!™ directory.  Normally you will have no need to review this log.  Most coding errors that HTML Tidy discovers it is able to correct automatically.

A complete description of the configuration settings which may be used can be found in the HTML Tidy Quick Reference.
