## History

HTML Tidy was developed by Dave Raggett[1] of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Later it was released as a SourceForge project in 2003 and managed by various maintainers.[2]

In 2012, the project was moved to GitHub,[3] and maintained by Michael Smith, also of W3C,[4] where HTML5 support was added.

In 2015, the HTML Tidy Advocacy Community Group (HTACG) was formed for management and development of HTML Tidy as a W3C Community Group.[5][6]

HTML Tidy source code is written in ANSI C for portability. Compiled binary files are available for a variety of platforms. It is available under the W3C Software Notice and License, a permissive BSD-style license. Up-to-date versions are available as source code cloned from its GitHub Git version control repository, or in binary packages for multiple operating systems from its GitHub Releases repository.

## Features

Examples of corrections to invalid or poorly constructed HTML:

* Reorder mixed-up tags
* Complete missing or mismatched end tags
* Add missing syntax elements (some tags, quotes, etc.)
* Report proprietary HTML extensions
* Change layout of markup to a predefined style
* Transform characters from some encodings into HTML entities
