Tidy for Mac OS ensures HTML and XML are in adherence with W3C HTML standards by identifying and correcting errors.
One of the advantages of MacTidy is its ability to port Tidy source codes quickly with minimal changes. However, this might affect its flexibility slightly. The latest release of the application comes with several new updates and features that are aimed at improving its performance and user experience.
For instance, the base "tidy" source code has been updated to the most recent version (01 Dec 02), and future versions of MacTidy will use TidyLib - a new base "tidy" source code. The new version of the base "tidy" source code addresses several bugs and introduces several new features too numerous to list here.
Other notable updates include adding support for input files with no filetype/creator, outputting actual tab chars instead of spaces, adding support for a separate dialog for additional configuration options specified on the command line, and dimming the controls on the main dialog when a second dialog/Alert is being displayed/dismissed.
Furthermore, the initialization code has been changed to support checking for 68000 based machines when compiled as 68020 code. The balloon help has been updated for the new dialog layout, and the "Read Me First" documentation has been rewritten and delivered as a PDF document. Lastly, the dialog layout has been improved for Mac OS X Aqua GUI.
In conclusion, MacTidy is a reliable and efficient software application that is useful for web developers and anyone that works with HTML and XML codes. Its user-friendly interface, coupled with its frequent updates and improvements, make it a valuable addition to your software toolkit.
