Introduction
-----------
BBTidy is a BBEdit (and BBEdit Lite) plugin designed to check and correct HTML and XML source. It is based on the freely available "tidy" program by Dave Raggett (<mailto:dsr@w3.org>).
For more information on "tidy", browse the enclosed HTML file "overview.html" or visit the author's web site at <http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy>
The BBEdit version has Balloon Help in the configuration dialog.
Report any bugs to <mailto:teague@mailandnews.com>

Important Usage Note
-------------------
BBTidy works best when the input source files have carriage returns (<cr>) as their line endings (Mac OS standard). Many HTML source files are created on non-Mac platforms, and typically use linefeeds (<lf>) as their line endings. Use the "LF Translation" option of BBEdit when opening files, if necessary.
The BBTidy plugin can use a lot of memory, and can fail in unexpected ways in low memory situations. It is recommended that you increase the memory requirements of the BBEdit application using the Get Info option in Finder. I Use 8192 K.
This release of BBTidy does not run on 68000 based machines (e.g. Macintosh 128, Macintosh 512Ke, Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE, Macintosh Portable, Macintosh Classic, PowerBook 100). And it has only been tested on Power Macintosh configurations running BBEdit Lite v4.1 and BBEdit v5.1.1 - while appropriate checking is done for features (such as Undo not being available for BBEdit Lite), very little error reporting to the user is currently done for unexpected situations.
Selecting the Config file... option in the configuration dialog does not immediately apply the settings stored in the Config file to that of the current configuration dialog. In other words, Config files are used to override the current settings only after the "Use Now" button is clicked. A future version of the plugin may improve this situation.
