+When editing HTML it's easy to make mistakes. Wouldn't it be nice if
+there was a simple way to fix these mistakes automatically and tidy up
+sloppy editing into nicely layed out markup? Well now there is thanks
+to Hewlett Packard's Dave Raggett. HTML TIDY is a free utility for
+doing just that. It also works great on the attrociously hard to read
+markup generated by specialized HTML editors and conversion tools, and
+can help you identify where you need to pay further attention on
+making your pages more accessible to people with disabilities.
+
+Tidy is able to fix up a wide range of problems and to bring to your
+attention things that you need to work on yourself. Each item found is
+listed with the line number and column so that you can see where the
+problem lies in your markup. Tidy won't generate a cleaned up version
+when there are problems that it can't be sure of how to handle. These
+are logged as "errors" rather than "warnings".
