There is a new version of Tidy (5.0.0) which has been released and which is largely backwards compatible with the 2009 Tidy that ships right now.
See https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5 for the source repository, and this open issue https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5/issues/252 for the packaging issue. There is a desire on the part of the maintainer to have distributions pick up and offer this current release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to tidy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029209 Title: tidy doesn't support html5 syntax Status in tidy package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Upstream (W3C?) hasn't updated the code in years, so it doesn't recognize html5 <!DOCTYPE> declaration, and throws warnings or errors on valid html5 elements.
