[Petal] Petal and HTML Tidy

[William McKee]

Jean-Michel,

So, I've taken your advice and started using HTML Tidy on my templates. 
Yes, in many cases, it has helped fix some problems I was having with my 
templates being properly parsed.

However, it does generate lots of warnings about unknown attributes when I 
use the TAL-style lanaguage. Any suggestions for configuring tidy to 
ignore these? Also, I have found an example where tidy really screws up my 
templates. Given the following:
        <a 
href="mailto:%3C?petal:var%20name=">&quot;petal:content=&quot;encode:email&
quot;&gt;Email</a>

Tidy turns it into:
	<a href="mailto:<?petal:var name="email"?>" 
petal:content="encode:email">Email</a></td>

Any solutions for this situation where tidy is obviously trying to format 
my attributes? My tidy config file is included at the end of this message.

Also, I never heard back about needing to pass the taint value to includes 
statements. It seems like now that taint and all other instantiation 
settings are now global, this setting is ignored. If this is the case, 
docs need update.

Thanks,
William
