## Notes on `Release Process`:
This **HTACG HTML Tidy** `official` release process must be supplemented with distribution by others.

Of course, if possible, we recomend building tidy from the git source, it is easy, but also in some OS'es others offer distribution in various ways...
See [Get Tidy](http://www.html-tidy.org/#homepage19700601get_tidy) - This page really needs expanding. There are some suggestions pending, and more feedback welcome...
