You got it the wrong way around haven't you? :-) Effectively it's
screwed up, but that's the template's fault, not tidy's.

Anyway, the new string: modifier should be your friend.


Try:


<a href="foo" petal:attributes="href string:mailto\:${email}">Email</a>

If it does not work, tell me, because I'd see it as a bug.


A workaround to this would be:

<a href="mailto:$email">Email</a>

They do... feel free to send a patch if you have the courage to,
otherwise I'll do it this coming week-end (with all the bug-fixing...).
